My daughter and I went to the steel match at the Hernando Sportsman's Club last Saturday. We were shooting in the Open Rimfire Pistol class with my Ruger Mark III with a Tru-Glo Red Dot sight.
Morgan has only been shooting for a year (only when she's home from UF) and has very little time with this gun (usually shoots her 9MM). She's shot a few mags at the indoor range with it and participated in the practice on the Wednesday before the competition. I thought she'd be nervous, I was wrong.
I finished 4th in the Open Class and 4th in the Rimfire Overall. She finished 5th in the Open and 7th in the Overall. There were 9 people in the Open and 14 Overall. I thought she did very well. She beat me in two of the four stages which made her very happy. I have some work to do or I'm going to get my butt whooped at the next one, which would be fine with me.
I forgot that I had the camera until she was starting the last stage. Here is a short video of her last 4 runs on that stage. I think this was her best stage so it was a good one to video. We both had a great time and it's really cool to be able to do this with her. I think she has some natural ability.
