Basia (from Poland) Gets To Shoot The Big Guns
Somewhere north of Duluth, MN
Basia (pronounced Basha) is a Rotary International intern staying with my sister's family this summer. Fans of this site may remember her friend Pavel from Poland on his Day of the Big Guns last summer, and Pavel told her that she had better ask me to take her out shooting before her internship ended. Well, Basia sure enjoyed it, even though most of the rifles were a bit too heavy and recoiled a bit too much for her as a first time shooter. You can see that she is more of a "natural" with a good handgun than a rifle (most women are naturals when presented with a handgun for the first time).

Trying to figure out how to properly hold the AR-15. She is left-eye dominant, which made it difficult.
I told her to naturally aim it,
and she took my advice literally...
I gave her a Walther P22 pistol and she knocked a few bowling pins over.
Switching over to a Beretta 92FS gave her more confidence, and she shot this weapon well.
The AK was sized better for Basia, and she figured this one out right away.
Her father was in the military, so he probably was issued a variant of this rifle.
The Remington 870 combat shotgun was good, but all I had for ammo was 00-buck. She looks good in a shotgun shell bandolier, no?
The CETME rifle was lighter, but still a little long for her reach. She hip-shot it pretty dang well!
Tony shooting the Remington M700 Sendero sniper rifle, aiming at far-off bowling pins.
I nailed the first one right right at the top of the pin, and didn't even destroy the pin!
Note the dust from the muzzle blast...
Basia fit the Sendero well lying prone, and she hit what she shot at, for sure. Note the proper butt-stock support with her left hand.
Shooting into the sunset did NOT make sight alignment easy! She will feel the recoil tomorrow morning more than here...
Designated Markswoman, Team Poland!
The FN-FAL with the Springfield 10X Government Model scope was a bit too large for her physique. She needs an M1A SOCOM rifle or something.
Proving that this rifle is not too big for her!
