We have only 9mm pistols for the adults and 22 revolvers and rifles for the children. Guns used include the Taurus G3C, SIG P365, Mossberg MC1, Glock 43X, Glock 19X and Glock 17. Our ammunition of choice is entirely Winchester Practrice Ammo as this is the cheapest that we can buy from Academy in Houston.We have had very good results with it, Surprisingly, I have found that the pistol that most new shooters seem to like is the Taurus G3C. The slightly rounded grip seems to make these pistols comfortable for most new shooters to shoot accurately. With a laser that I have mounted on my personal pistol, I find most shooters hitting the X ring on a human silhouette target at 25 yards by the end of the first day. The slimmer SIG and Mossberg conceal more easily, but somehow new shooters find them more challenginng to shoot more accurately with. The Glocks work well but of course they are more expensive to begin with than the Taurus G3Cs.

We are hoping to bring a good number of our people into the tradition of gun ownership. A number of mothers want us to teach their daughters to shoot in particular. Hopefully, what we are doing with the Indian community could be helpful for other communities who may also be interested in working towards supporting our freedoms. If anyone has tips / hints for us. we would welcome them of course! Thank you!
