The kids are out of school this week and today’s weather was awesome here in MA. After breakfast I decided to head to the range and have some fun with my new Edgun Leshiy 2.
I loaded up the Jeep and to my surprise here comes my wife and my twin daughters; I was extremely happy. We took the drive out to the shooting range and were greeted by the RSO and a few other shooters.
I pulled out my Texan in .457, Impact M3 in .357 and my Leshiy2 in .30 and watched as everyone came over to see what the hell I was getting ready to shoot. The back door opens and out jumps one of the twin’s with a huge smile on her face. She says hello to everyone and then just listens to me explain each one of the rifles and their capabilities.
My daughter walks out with me as we set up our targets at the 35, 50 and 100 yard markers. As we’re walking back she tells me she’s ready to shoot! Once we get back to the bench I start off with the Texan and tell her to watch my technique and to pay attention to my movements and what I do.
Well, the RSO and the group next to me just stood there and watched me shoot my first group with the Texan and couldn’t believe the accuracy but also just how loud it was. I switched over to the M3 and switched to the 50 yard target and ate the center of the target. The folks next to me had a spotting scope and just kept saying, “hit, center”; I was feeling good and glad I made my daughter proud.
Lastly I switch over to the Leshiy 2 and call my daughter over. I empty the magazine in the 35yard target and say now its your turn. She’s been to the range with me previously and has taken a hunter safety course but has never fired a rifle. She sits down, she’s a lefty, and the Leshiy 2 fit her like a glove.
She took her time and I was so proud of her and so happy with the club members for their encouragement and help; they made her feel so welcome and happy. Needless to say we made some new friends and I was even asked to become an RSO as well. Man, did this make me feel happy. I was so happy for my daughter and she already asked when were going back. We got some more information on events for kid’s and I opened up some eyes and minds to what an Air Rifle is and can do.
This is her 35yard group with the Leshiy 2 600mm barrel with Donnyfl Ronin shooting 50.2gr JSB pellets at 968 fps, yes that’s a high fps but it’s tuned for 54gr slug’s. I left the tune as the pellets were actually grouping well for me at 50 and 75yards.
