What are you trying to say? 6 foot 8 is average!

It's actually freakishly tall....

Weak grip.... I've heard that a time or 2 from the couple people I've shot with giving me pointers... the person I bought it from didn't have the issues I've had so I know it's user error.

Get one of those squeeze-thing exercise devices. Also, Mas Ayoob recommends the "gorilla grip" (torque down with everything you have; id shooting one hand, ball the other into a fist similarly tightened and pull it up to your chest for maximum "interlimb response") for this very reason.

@SKrueger has a distinct advantage, he's the first one to know it's raining, last one to drown! Only feller I know that has to duck to get into a lifted truck!


I'm a gonna run now, he's so gonna stomp my short azz into the ground!

I have a lot of respect for women shooters. I've had my azz handed to me a few times by a woman shooter... Welcome aboard and do't be too hard on your dad. He may have had his reasons, that made sense to him at the time, for not taking you shooting.. This is a great place. You will like it here...

I try not to be too hard on him. He sees me with different eyes now... I guess when your baby girl becomes a single mom, you have no choice but to let her grow up... Or at least let her think she has... haha! He still won't talk guns with me though... baby steps I guess.

Maybe try explaining that since you have to be both nurturer ("mom") and protector ("dad") roles, you NEED to know this stuff, and the better at the game you are the safer his grandkids will be?

Back in my Executive Protection days, when my Principal (later GF, now Ex 1.0) insisted on fighting me about every little call early on I played a version of that card on her to great effect. ("Someday, you're going to need to be prepared to take the role for your kids that I hold for you..." The friction went way down when first I had her do what I call a "Day In The Life" exercise where she RP'ed an agent for a day, and then when she started joining me on the range for training once or twice a month. )

Need to get yourself a Maxim 9 Maxim 9 | Integrally Suppressed Pistol | SilencerCo.com (takes G17 mags) so that if you have occasion to defend yourself in the middle of the night everyone won't go deaf.

That's my game plan someday if he ever talks to me about it. Although my boys see their father, my own father tries to assume role of being "the protector" for his baby girl (me) and his grandsons. It's not a negative situation. He just avoids the topic. My younger brother and I have had discussions about it in front of our Dad, but he won't engage in the conversation. I don't bring it up directly with him, because I know he's not ready for it. He still doesn't acknowledge I have a tattoo that I've had for 13 years now and it covers 1/4 of my leg
