I've mentioned a little in the past about my youngest, now 11, and some of the things she's been through and issues with self esteem, etc. We're beginning to get into shooting and I'm trying to tailor her experience based on what I'm seeing in her as we shoot. We began with standard paper targets but what saw, despite her first shots being very near the bull, she was looking at it like that's not enough because it wasn't ON the bull. She wasn't getting just how well she did which was far better than I had done for years.
I've had a lot of help along the way, Water Monkey has taken a lot of time helping me with the basics of pistol shooting. So I'm trying to share that with my daughter as I've learned, as I'm still learning. So based on her first experience with paper targets, I began thinking of alternative targets and clays seemed perfect as they're reactionary and give instant feedback, and she can benefit from that and build confidence as she works on the basics. The video is brief and what it shows is more than beginners luck but the work she has already put in to it by dry fire practice and rehearsing before ever firing a live round.
