Well, my daughter got her early birthday present.  She got a Crickett .22 rifle.  Heading out to the range tomorrow for some fun.   :D

That is very cool. My daughter got her 1st .22 a few months ago. She did very well first time out and has since cleaned it several times and understands it. She recently fired several rounds through my AR15 and now claims that as hers too lol. Actually, except for a handful of rifles, she has claimed them all.  ^-^

Have fun at the range!

Awesome.

My daughter and I went to the range this weekend.  She had been lounging around the house in her jammies before we left so I told her to go get dressed.  She came back downstairs wearing a tutu.  I told her she can't wear that to the range.

Why can't she wear that? I do...under my tactical pants.

Seriously though, that is cute.
