I took quite a few newbies to the range over the last couple months. First trip was in Toledo. Met up with usp_fan and two of my friends who haven't shot before. They both did pretty well. One friend kept leaning back too much, we corrected her, though. Then a guy shooting next to us let my other friend try out his .44 mag DE. Pretty impressive.
Next couple trips were with my school's Trap and Skeet club. We had several German exchange students who have never even held a gun join us, along with some Americans who haven't shot, so I showed them the ropes with cfabe. They got a kick out of my Mosin since they saw it in Enemy at the Gates. I also got to try out a .45 USP, very nice.
Then this weekend, cfabe and I took his brother and a friend of mine that's new to handguns out. She did really well too, I was impressed. She took a liking to my Buck Mark and Arcus but it took all her might to pull the trigger on cfabe's P11 and she couldn't rack the slide on my Mak, which has an upgraded spring.
In other news I got a petition going asking University administration to allow CCW in accordance with state law on campus in light of a 5-fold increase of attacks on people since last year. So far I have 400 signatures in four days, including a couple professors, which isn't bad considering we have less than 5000 students, staff, and faculty.
