Need help to take Daughter shooting

[Stvros]

My 22 year old Daughter, who has been afraid of and vocally anti of my interest in guns and shooting flew home from California yesterday for a weeks stay. Before I got home from work a package arrived from Midway with 300 rounds of .38 that started a familiar conversation in my home about my "obsession" with guns etc., etc. To my surprise, my daughter told me she would like to learn to shoot a handgun, "just to know how". I am ecstatic at the opportunity to take her shooting and make it safe, fun, and non threatening. Two years ago my first attempt failed miserably when she left an indoor range shaking and in tears because the loud guns around us scared the shit out of her. Could some members here recommend an outdoor range anywhere in the Denver area that is open to the public that I could sieze this opportunity to shoot with her? This is my chance to "un-demonize" guns to someone I cherish and any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, saw that in the places to shoot section and at this point seemed my most viable option. Will probably try to take her on a weekday.

why havnt you raised her around guns so she wouldnt be scared of them? my 2 year old loves guns "BOOM BOOM BOOM" and while she wont be shooting for another 2 years i still try to involve her as much as possible

That's assuming a lot. I'm just glad to see that he's wanting to sway her opinion now and provide with a skill that could potentially save her life.

If you had more time I'd welcome you to shoot at my place in Bailey. Good luck with the "conversion"!

Cherry creek is very safe, they rent other handguns as well. Im headed there today as well.

Wish you were closer, we could just go in the back yard.

Get her started on on a .22 pistol. If you dont have one rent one

Second vote for Cherry Creek. I took my wife who being Chinese had never been around shooting, out there on a weekend to show her that shooting is a family sport enjoyed by men women and children. The 9 or 10 year old in the lane next to us was getting instruction from his Dad, and there were several women of all ages there which put her a lot more at ease.
