[QUOTE="mbalexander, post: 2000648, member: 25602"] I took my 17 yr old daughter out to the range Sunday. She'd never even heard a gun, honest, let alone shoot one. Except for my pellet gun. Anyway, she shot some 9mm's, then my 12 ga., she wasn't too interested in the shotgun. THEN, I showed her some things about the Marlin 336 levers. She shot the 30-30 and the .35 Remington. She loved both of them. She had no idea what kind of recoil they had, so she didn't know what to expect. I think this had a lot to do with the way she was knocking off 1/2 gal. water jugs at 50-60 yds with every shot. She didn't know what to expect, so she wasn't "pre-flinching" if you will. Anyway, she shot some .22s, said "that's boring", got to shoot an AR15 that a guy was passing around for anyone that wanted to shoot it. She went back over and picked up the 30-30 and put about 20 rounds through it. I ran out of ammo for the .35. She's about 120 lbs and didn't have any problems with the 30-30. She's ready for the eat-n-shoot. So look out. [/QUOTE]
