I took Abby to the range yesterday, It's been quite awhile since she had come with me so it was a nice time together.
She really liked the M&P Compact 22 with the can on it and after a bit of practice did very well with it.
She could hit all three on demand, but occiasionally would rush herself and inevitabley shoot high above the plates, but once she settled down she could knock them all down. I may even be able to talk her into trying steel challenge someday.
She also tried the M&P 15-22 and thought it was a bit heavy but then she remembered shooting it awhile back as a kid and then she also got her hits with it too.
She said the Tavor felt too heavy for her but she would hit the paper with it (No plates with the Tavor as that steel is pistol-rated only).
I shot the Glock with the replacement Holosun on it and finished zeroing it.
Then we did a bit of shooting and (slowly) moving - first the rack of thre plates then moving to the other side with another rack of three plates for Abby and three plats and two poppers for me. Good practice in teaching her how to move with a firearm while controlling the muzzle direction at all times, and she had a lot of fun doing it.
Overall a very nice and easy range trip.
Then we drove back and met up with the rest of the family for lunch and then got a lot of cleaning done around the house which was all good. hen I headed out to a friend's 40th birthday party and had a good time doing that too.
Not a bad way to spend a Saturday.

Very nice!
I love my Compact 22.
Mine came with the threaded barrel, which I don't like because in Illinois, I can't have a can and since you need a tool to take the the thread protector off, it's difficult to field strip.
Looks like you had a good day at the range !!
Old NFO: Thanks!
Matthew W: Yes, the Compact 22 is great. Getting that thread protector off was a major pain before I added the can and adapter for it.
