Hey all, my wife and my in laws finally agreed to let me take them shooting. So I'm looking for a range to take them too in or near the columbia area.
They are a little apprehensive about firearms, just due to never having been around them growing up. So I want to try and make it as comfortable and positive experience as possible, so as not to reinforce any fears or ideas they might have.
I plan on going over the following things during our session:
While unloaded:
- Proper handling, always point muzzle in safest direction, no muzzle sweeping, explnation of terms "range is hot", "cease fire", "range is cold", etc...
- operation of handgun (glock 26), safety features or lack there of, dry firing a couple times to get feel of trigger.
While Loaded:
- Me demonstrating all of above practices on the first magazine.
- Supervising them to ensure they follow all procedures above, while they shoot their targets.
That's pretty much it, just going to use my Glock 26 with all three of them for around 100-200 rds. Really just want to ease them into it, and focus on safe practices and safe operation.
Any suggustions? Preferably places homeboys don't come to, they are very very afraid of the "gang" looking types.
