    Don't be letting her start off with bad habits from the start! Left hand should be her trigger hand. ;)

    Been trying t get herself involved in it for ages.
    She came ferreting before and wouldn't hold the ferret or the rabbits we got. Was grand for carrying shovel about though.
    Gonna have t get her out with the shotgun this weekend.
    Be nice t get herself involved in my hobbies seen as I spend hours in one shop with her :)

    Thinking the very same myself. Looks like an uncomfortable posture too.

    She's probably left eye dominant but right handed.

    So am I!! :D but its best to start off right and it becomes second nature!

    My other half has shot my .223 out to 300 yards on steel and enjoyed it! She loves the .22 aswel!

    Make sure she changes hands aswell.

    She might think its comfortable but that's only because she is well supported.

    If she held the shot gun like that she will get some kick. Start off with good habits. Hopefully she stays at it. Fair play to her.

    So she doesn't need the glasses to shoot. Most of my scopes require my glasses, one does not.

    If I can make a suggestion for the ladies in your lives! Should you be on bookieface, look up Harbour House Sports Club. Every 2 months they run a day course called "Women On Target". There's classroom, then practical on both hand gun and rifle (22) with lunch between. There'll be another course due up in May sometime. They can have up to and around 16 ladies on the day and it's brilliant fun. The amount of ladies taking up shooting after this day is quite substantial.

    Alternatively, contact Mark Maguire at Harbour House and he'll let you know when the next course if and when you can expect to see the application forms
