My sister & a M4

General General Discussion
1

I took my sister shooting today, she was 16 the last time she shot anything.

She still has some work to do with handguns, but I’m here to tell you that you don’t want to be within 100-300 yards of her when she has my Colt 6920 in her hands…she was reliably and consistantly nailing the steel at 100 standing, and when sitting, had no problem nailing the steel at 300.

Hey man that’s really cool!

She looks like she knows what she’s doing.

There is something hot about a plain yellow face… :smiley:

I’m glad to hear you got her to the range, and congratulations to her on the fine shooting.

Either you are a good coach or she has forgotten nothing. Excellent form and trigger control, from what the pictures show.

Cool Tim, Looks like you taught her well.

9x19 (my wife) shot her first USPSA match yesterday at Blackwater w/me. She shot her M&P and her 3gun rifle.

Tell us about that Garand—

Templar, what model is your compact acog? does the FSB bother you?

I ask because I have a TA44-5 (1.5x amber dot), I’m waiting for my MT6400 and I was thinking about a setup like yours

TIA

We didn’t get a chance to put them on paper, but they did a pretty decent job molesting the steel at 100 yards. My sister did shoot one while seated…for one round, and then went back to the M4.

Thanks for the postive comments guys. She’s really interested in getting back into shooting and right now she’s a huge fan of the M4/ACOG set up.

I’m using a TA44R-4. I can see a little of the front sight in scope, but it’s not an issue for me.

You’re welcome…

I just got Mrs Jayteam interested in shooting. She had me show her my M4gery with the ACOG last night. She thought how the chevron glowed red with the lights off and on was really high on the cool factor. I think she has the bug. She is very interested in shooting now.

Templar is that a river I spy? Is this a personal range set up next to some water? Wow, I’d love that setup!! :eek: :stuck_out_tongue:

13

Not a river, but a lake. It’s a private shooting range that I’m a member of. My sister just emailed me wanting to go back to try out the 500 yard range…:smiley:

Hey I know her!

Her name is yellow face isn’t it? I’d recognize her anywhere.:smiley:

I am running an ACOG compact 1.5X with amber triangle on the carry handle of a BM M4gery, with match trigger installed. My wife likes it better all the time. She got her DCM M1 with a CAR-15 way back when and missed that gun when I foolishly sold it off. This one, however, is better and the ACOG is hot stuff.

Got an identical carbine (minus ACOG) for my Gunsite graduate daughter. she just doesn’t know it yet…

The ladies seem to take right to these little guns if they are set up properly for them.

Looks beautiful! :slight_smile:

I am only 5 ft. tall, so I definitely like shorter rifles with shorter stocks. But back in the day when the Army taught me how to shoot, I was using a M16A1. It didn’t stop me from shooting, but it is a lot more comfortable to shoot something that fits me. That goes for handguns as well as long guns.
