[QUOTE="sierracharlie338, post: 2411982, member: 64849"] Thank you ma'am for taking the time to respond. While I agree with some of the things that you mentioned, you are assuming a lot about someone you nothing about. As far as wasting money, the only money being spent is a barrel install to replace a shot out barrel. I also previously mentioned she is currently shooting a 22 in an ar platform. She also has a 10/22 with a red dot for later on. While she is not ready for a bolt action rifle yet this is being built now for future use. I already own the chassis that it will be in for the time being as well. As for my background, I teach firearms handling and instruction as a full time job so I'd like to think I have a pretty good feel for starting new shooters out. That being said, I am not too prideful if it got the point that I felt a third party would benefit her then I would absolutely do it. Some things I agree with that you mentioned, starting them out small and working up from there. There is a very slim chance of recovering someone once they develop a recoil flinch as a habit. Can it be done, yes but man is it a lot of work. She is ready to shoot anything she can out of the deer stand but she is not ready to reach that level yet and I am not letting her. There has to be a safe and adequate base line demonstrated prior to ever pulling the trigger to take a life. The emotions and feelings involved in taking a life are intense and unpredictable when you have never been there before, unless you are a psychopath of course. A person never knows how they will react until they are in that situation despite how they think they will handle it. I appreciate your response again. SC [/QUOTE]
