Rapier,
I agree with your training methods. Actually, we started on a SA .22 revolver and then went to the M-10 and Cobra 2-inchers with light wadcutter loads. I always teach the "Ready Gun" position which has a two handed grip on the revolver and the arms are 45 degrees below eye level whenever the handgun is out of the holster. This keeps newbies from inadvertantly pointing a handgun at their toes. Last month a guy at my local gun club was firing his rifle at 100 yards and his wife (never shot a handgun before) was on the next bench firing a 9mm semi at a target on the 50 yard line. After hubby shot a group, he went to check his target and her's. He had a group and she was not on a B-8 pistol target. I suggested he put up a target frame at 7 yards for her and work on her sight picture, trigger squeeze, etc. He said, "No, she will get on at 50 yards eventually." Whatever! Adam

The ladies are so often treated as students that do not really count by boyfriends, fathers or husbands and in my experiance they make the best students and many times the best shooters, if given half a chance, because they listen and they pay attention.
I got the chance (we were tied) to go man on "man" with Bill Rogers' wife at the Florida state IPSC championships years ago. So I have great respect for the ladies and their ability. I won the shoot off by one target but it was with considerable effort on my part. A lovely lady and very fine shooter. Bill and his wife are very gracious people, good folks. Ed
