Ok, I was an expert on the range in the Army with the M16 and 45 caliber. At the end of my time with the Army, I was missing targets. On the range, one lays in a prone position and shoots at targets that pop up at various distances. When hit they are hit they fall down and that is how the score is counted. Well, I found out a couple of years later, I needed glasses. I wasn't seeing the targets like I did when I was 20, and at 24 my eyes had changed. I am 59 now and have owned a few guns. I am glad you got to shoot some weapons, it is a right we cherish.

[@PsychoSamaritan]

I've taught several people how to shoot, and one constant I've noticed is that women tend to be excellent shots. They tend to be more focused and patient with their shots. Keep at it ladies!

[@randytrashcan]

I cleaned up an old Sears Roebuck .22 LR for a coworker a few months back. It's his grandpa's rifle that hadn't been shot in decades at best. Got all the rust off of it, smoothed out the action and trigger, and gave it back to him. Him, his wife, his dad, and his grandpa all went out to shoot it the other day, and wouldn't you know it, his wife (who'd never touched a gun in her 40-something years) shot better than all of 'em. He was surprised. I wasn't! Now they're all excited to take it back out shooting again, and I couldn't be happier about it. I'm especially thrilled to see his grandpa so excited about that old rifle and to spend a little more time enjoying it again with his family.

​@@dabreal82 This is categorically untrue. The FBI tracks this stuff, t's listed on their website under "Expanded (offed) Data Table 8." The most recent data is from 2019. The ~30-40k/yr figure cited by anti-gun people is inclusive of people who self-delete, which are an entirely separate issue. There are about 14k people offed per year by firearm in the US. If you dig into that further, using other data sources, you will find that roughly half of those are criminal-on-criminal violence, mostly related to gang activity. That leaves roughly 7k innocent people per year. As tragic as that is, in a country of 330m people, it's a statistical non-event. From the perspective of public policy and impact on society as a whole, it effectively doesn't happen at all.

​@@ChrisRoxDuhh We only have that issue because Democrat leaders refuse to place arm guards in public schools, this gives them a platform to try and take that right away from us. P.S. also if you look at statistics read the fine print because school shooting will include shooting not on school grounds but within a half mile of a school which is nearly anywhere especially in cities. Also since Stockton school shooting in 1989 there has been less than 10 that are not gang related. But one thing we don't have that other developed countries have is a violent crime problem, in England for example they have 450 per 100,000 violent crimes to America's 40 per 100,00. How is it possible in a country where guns are extremely rare in the hands of citizens that there is a violent crime issue yet in a country that has 450 million guns in the hands of private citizens violent crime is nearly 10x lower?

​@@ChrisRoxDuhhyeah that started when they started drugging kids to make them easier to control in the classroom who would have thought giving mood altering drugs to kids before some reach puberty would be a problem, almost every school shooter was on prescribed drugs

[@manjisaipoe517]

As a life long Nebraskan (58 years), and hunter since age 12, I love this video! Seeing the whole family enjoy themselves this way, and learning that they are able to do something so many are afraid of must really make you all proud.

[@scottsuem3384]

The main thing is a family from New Zealand had fun in the States. That's all it's about is a family from a country to where they can't do the little things as a family like this. Smiles is all i needed to see. and I'm happy they had fun with our Second Amendment. I/we can go out all the time and do it. If they decided not to do it, no big deal! JUST HAVE FUN IN YOUR NEW 2ND COUNTY😁.. Glad they treated them good. Have fun, stay safe. ❤ from AZ

[@kirkmashino4106]

props for taking the kids this is how safety and respect for the weapon is taught. i've been shooting since age 6 and wouldn't trade that experience for anything. greetings from colorado!

[@Whiteruffels]

It is great your doing this as a family. Great experience and memories. I didn’t shoot my first gun until my 62nd B-Day with my son.I had just beat cancer the year before,took me again for my next B-Day.9mm ?Troy A 4.I felt comfortable because he’s a marine,my boyfriend is retired state trooper.

[@carolynbrubaker1619]

See nothing to be afraid of. WHen you are raised in a gun culture as many in Wyoming are (but by no means all), you learn to respect them and how to handle them safely so they aren't scary at all. In fact shooting tends to be addictive (as you saw). 99.99% of the time we use our guns for hunting and target practice. I hope you went to the Cody museum while you were there. THey have the biggest collection of firearms in the world. So excited to see you in COdy. I grew up 60 miles east of there and currently live 120 miles south.

[@bigjohn6458]

lol Uh oh someone's turning American 25:03 . please do more of these, I love watching people experiencing firearms for the first time.

[@MrLgmurphysr]

This is one of the most enjoyable videos I have seen is a long time. I hope that your entire visit to America was just as enjoyable.

[@bbs5400]

Single action revolvers is the absolute best choice for first time shooters, those guys really know what they're doing there. If you were to shoot a semi automatic for the first time, I'd only load a single round in at a time, shoot, load one, shoot, load one, etc. The double trigger pull accidentally can happen to newbies who aren't holding onto the pistol properly. I'm so glad you guys went to people who really knew what they were doing, they were professionals.

[@JohnMcClain-s5w]

That's a really good instructor/firearms safety officer, makes all the difference.

[@TedC5203]

Don't feel bad Sam. Women are generally good shooters. A lot of our wives and girlfriends are pretty good shots. Glad you guys had fun. You all did really good. Great attitudes.

[@5-7Farms]

I can atest to that.

[@agates9383]

Having trained many new shooters women tend to LISTEN to the instructions better than men do - it happens almost every time - men have ego's when it comes to shooting and most women tend not to.

[@The_Ballo]

​@@agates9383Rifleman training in the military bears this out. For example when the British army trains Gurkhas they want recruits who are fit and humble

[@SpeckszDaBoss]

You guys are literally living everyone’s dreams right now. Nothing better on earth then spending quality time with your family and making memories no one will forget. Best part is us NewZealians(I just came up with that) can come along the ride with you guys!! Btw Sam is so happy he’s like a kid at Disney world!! Im smiling so big seeing how excited Sam is

[@halecj1]

Such a cool experience! I'm super impressed with y'alls shooting for first timers! Shooting a flintlock is basically a small hand-held cannon. The delay from the flash and the firing is tough to hold steady.

[@joeg5414]

yeah that would be tough without a lot of practice. side note - quite sad that youtube doesn't allow me to use the S word for discharging a firearm. Deleted within seconds every time

[@Braekker19]

It’s always fun to see people outside of the US come and shoot firearms for the first time. It’s a very fun experience and as long as you practice good firearm safety. You’ll be just fine.

[@gilbertcuellar3494]

Girls are naturally really good shots

[@dasecretformula6179]

Nadine is no joke...like a true American who's been hunting her whole life.

[@SaidiLouise]

"I'm kind of addicted. ".....welcome, Nadine....welcome!

[@gjhoward]

"It has begun..." 😂

[@dingus6317]

unlimited powah

[@brianwalker5937]

This was fun to watch. I've seen a few first time to the range videos and I liked them all. One thing I noticed that in all those videos the instructors were very professional and knew how to keep people at ease and focused. But this guy was 'S' tier of professionalism and customer relations. His focus on the gun was intense. Honestly, I think I speak for a lot of viewers, Nadine impressed me most. After the first couple shots, she calmed down a little. If you can get past that adrenaline rush, it is very cathartic. Some people cannot get past the adrenaline, and it causes a queasy feeling and keeps you on edge, maybe Atlanta had a bit of this. But if you get past it, it's "when can I go again." Been years since I have fired a weapon. My friend who owned the guns moved away. Since he moved, it just dropped off my radar. Great video as always. Oh, I liked Denzel's cap.

[@huckjam2394]

Shes a natural! Some people just get it right away and she is one of them.

[@2averagenoobs108]

As an American, I'm so happy y'all got to experience this, were safe AND had fun :)

[@MAGGOT_VOMIT]

"Ooh she's a dead-eye ain't she!!" - A Christmas Story 😉 Way to go NZ Fam!! 😎👍

[@Footlngchilidog]

Got my first gun when I was 8, a 410. My mom was the best shot in our family (dad, mom and 3 boys). I’ve always heard that women are generally better shots, was certainly true in my family ❤❤

[@skygazer858]

It's certainly true that my grand daughter was a much better natural shot with a rifle at 10 than I was and I'm not a slouch when it comes to it. Not sure quite how that makes me feel.

[@albertollorca5249]

There is truth to that, my daughter and wife are both better natural shots than I, and I'm pretty darn goo shot myself. I've taken many couples shooting before and almost always the wife turns out to be the better shot, specially with handguns. Women have a lower metabolism and lower heart rate than men and thus they can stay locked on target without "wondering" much better than men - which results in tighter groups and more shots on target.

[@zo_leo8401]

My sister and I joined the police department together. I have shot guns for years and it was her first time shooting. I scored a 92% on the firearms pistol test and she shot a 97. Some people are just naturally good. It also helps if they are shown the right way first and dont develop bad habits. Impressive shooting with the family. Looks like you guys had a lot of fun.

[@NateKyng]

We've learned two things from this vid...One, Sam has full on become the stereotypical American tourist dad (@ 2:10) lol...and two, he'll be the first to go in the zombie apocalypse 😂

[@benjaminelliott4112]

I completely agree with the many commenters who praised the instructor. He did an outstanding job helping you all through these guns. You were very fortunate to have such a calm, professional instructor. And yes, your reactions are very typical of first-time shooters...they usually want to go back for more!! Lol

[@unclebee5674]

"Is that real?" "It was." 🤣🤣🤣

[@rallypig8942]

You said magazine! Amazingly perfect. Lot of people call it a clip. But you are correct and they are wrong! Nice!

[@BigTroyT]

Yep. A "clip" is a tool for loading a magazine. A magazine is a device that holds ammunition and feeds it into the gun for firing. Some guns, such as those lever-action rifles, have fixed, internal magazines, and some have detachable magazines, like the Gatling gun. The main confusion likely comes from the M1 Garand rifle - the primary battle rifle for the US in WWII - which has a fixed, internal 8-round magazine which is normally loaded with a clip holding a block of 8 rounds, and the Garand has a rare feature where the clip holding the ammo is inserted into the magazine as a unit and the clip remains there until the magazine is empty - most clips load a magazine and then are discarded before firing. Add that blurring of the line together with G.I. slang, and soon you had people regularly referring to magazines as "clips."

[@georgelutchendorf9519]

Who cares. You know what they mean either way.

[@jwmemories]

It was awesome to see everyone having such a great time. I hosted a family from Belgium in Arizona and took them out shooting as well. I didn't shoot, but watching them experience it was just as enjoyable for me!

[@breaux2806]

Been around firearms my whole life and I've never seen such a good instructor, you guys really found a great guy to keep everything safe

[@nicole06964]

I’ve been watching you guys for years an old video of yours popped up on my recommended list. I can’t believe how much the kids have grown!!! It feels like they were so little not that long ago!

[@antarashnia84]

That feeling you have in your shoulder is called freedom!!!

[@michaelacooper]

I thought it was arthritis. Good to know.

[@guyrobillard1498]

I swear, yall becoming more American by the day. Welcome aboard !@

[@DRILLEX1312]

i loved your reaction to the first revolver being a lot more powerful than expected, usually most people first reaction but that revolver is one of many guns that we like to say "won the west" back in mid and late 1800s and after experiencing it im sure you can see why. GREAT VIDEO!

[@billcoupe4468]

What an amazing experience!! Thanks for sharing it. I believe I can see a road trip to Cody in my future!! Such a well-done and professional experience!!

[@FirstSuiGeneris]

Y’all put the biggest smile on my face! I am so glad y’all enjoy a taste of Americana and that over 290 million Americans enjoy our 2A rights!
