Maser,

Did you just write that you go out and empty your 10-22 when you are feeling stressed? Isn't that what postal workers do? Sonny boy, you really need to watch what you say and you really, really need to mature a little.

Fuelburns2,

I'm sorry but I can't remember if you covered this in your original post, but, does your friend even want to shoot? If you try and pressure him into doing something he doesn't want to do, it may (and probably will) turn him off of guns for life.

When I take new folks shooting, I always start them off with a mild recoiling revolver. Simple to operate and the lack of recoil and noise promote comfort. When they get relaxed enough, I let them shoot my 1911 and then if they want, one or two of my .44s or my .480. The important thing is that they remain comfortable and relaxed.

Is there any place outdoors you can go? I think you mentioned an indoor range in your post. Seems to me that one of those places would be rather noisy and possibly overwhelming. Someplace outdoors where you could take the earplugs out between shots and talk a little might be better.
