Some year back the office I worked in hired a new person. She is a naturalized U.S. citizen. She is Korean and lived in Seoul until her family immigrated when she was 12.
She claimed to be 5 feet tall and 100 pounds but I think she might fudge those numbers up some. She has tiny hands. I began to mentor her on the job and we became friends.
She expressed an interest in learning the basics of shooting so I started her with my model 63. With no bad habits and a great work ethic she was a quick study.
She decided that she would take the ccw course to learn more about guns and to have the option of getting a permit in the future.
My model 30-1 with factory grips was a perfect fit in her hands. I loaded some light wadcutter loads and got her used to the fixed sights. I used the target below for that.
On the shooting portion of the course she asked for Mrs. Thumbcocker and I to be there for moral support. Between sets I was able to talk to her and stress the basics. She got a little fatigued because the course of fire was 50 or 60 rounds and she has limited upper body strength.
Her boss was in the same class. About 6'4 300 pounds high school football player. He was shooting a loaner Ruger Mark III. To be charitable, the safest place on the range was behind the 9 ring on his target.
During a break my friend walked over to her boss' target, looked it over and said "Don't worry boss. I will protect you. "
Her target is attached. Keep in mind she had never fired a gun until a couple of months prior to taking the course.
