I recently took my 11-year-old daughter to Calibers to get her acquainted with firing a small pistol. Having never been in a range setting before she was initially very spooked and intimidated by the noise from the other shooters as well as the general stress of learning to shooting for the first time. Things weren't going so well so we stepped out in to the lobby so my daughter could get her bearings. She really wanted to shoot but was having a hard time getting past being so overwhelmed. While I was settling her down a very kind (female) member of the staff saw my daughter in her distress and took the time to come over and offer some reassurance. She then graciously allowed us to use Calibers private training range room which was currently unoccupied and could thereby give my daughter a better chance to focus on my instruction. We took the staff member up on the offer and my daughter was then able to relax and get past all that initial doubt and learn some shooting fundamentals (and what do you know, she's got pretty good aim to boot!). Overall it was a very positive experience for me as a parent and I have Calibers awesome staff to thank for facilitating this. Thanks a million!
