[QUOTE="Capm_Spaulding, post: 2385163, member: 17977"] I'm close to her age (22), and anytime I've taken my friends out to shoot for the first time, a lot of encouragement seems to help. She will likely be a little overwhelmed by all the sounds, especially if it's an indoor range. I'd start her out on the AR or the .22 just so she'll get the jitters out and to realize the recoil really isn't that bad. I'm sure she'll warm up to it pretty quick. From what I've seen, a lot of it is just the fear of the unknown. There's only so much you can read about and watch videos on before you just need to do it yourself. As long as she knows the basic rules of safety and stuff, I'd echo what they've said above me, just kind of let her go at her own pace and only intervene when necessary. [/QUOTE]
