Took Leah to her driving lesson today, Yes, the kid is now behind the wheel on the way to earning her graduated license. Already passed her written test and has a few more drives before the Level 1 test that will let her drive with an adult and get her hours toward her level 2 license. Time certainly goes flying by.
Since it was a two-hour lesson, I went to Huron Valley Guns which was about 10 minutes from her driving school. HVG is a darn nice indoor range and one of very few that let you draw from a holster and from concealment which is very nice.
Started as usual with some 25 yard B-8s. Then I did some Bill Drills and followed it up with some single-shot draws on the timer at 25 yards and 7 yards. Definitely could use some improvement on time as I was on average around 1.5 seconds at 7 yards, but with variations from 1.9 to a one-time run of 1.3 seconds which would be great if I could consistently reproduce it and get below that but I'm not there yet.
I then finished with a 10-10-10 drill - 10 shots at 10 yards in 10 seconds on a B-8.
10 shots in 8.33 seconds from concealment and just missed a 100 with one shot just out in the high right 9 line so its a 99 and something to aim for improvement next time. It's a fun drill.
Then I headed to pick Leah up, stopping to get her a cold drink on the way, and she was there in time to watch her smoothly pull up and park perfectly between two cars to end her lesson. Kid is becoming a good driver real fast. Not a bad way to spend a Saturday morning.

Hey Aaron;
Anytime at the range is a good day, and Leah learning to be a better driver than the average teenager is a plus. Your shooting reminds me that I need more range time. I am eyeballing a new pistol so it will give me an excuse to shoot the new pistol and a couple of others ;)
MrGarabaldi: That it is, and her driving is getitng pretty darn good rather quickly once she got the right instructor. More range time is always a good thing. Be sure to tell us about your new pistol when you get it.
