Title: Daughter's first day at the range.
Post by: bkoenig on October 09, 2011, 05:07:54 PM
I needed to try out my new .22 SBR upper today and my daughter recently asked if I would take her shooting, so I figured I would do both.  I'm very proud of her, she shot well and was very safe.  She took it very seriously and had a lot of fun.

Somewhere, Sarah Brady got a migraine at around 4:00 Central time.  The SBR upper with collapsible stock worked great for her - she's a tiny little thing and has a hard time holding up even a youth sized gun.

The CO2 pistol was more challenging but she was able to keep it on a paper plate at 7 yards:

I think when she starts dating I'll hand these to the boy and tell him "this is how she shot when she was seven":

She isn't entering the pistol poker hand competition at the meeting,  is she? :o The humiliations that aging brings can almost be unendurable. :laugh:
   Way to go Pop! Safe and fun is the ideal start.  RJ

You really need to be careful, first the wife claims the CZs, now I think you may lose a SBR!

Two thumbs up!   Teaching your daughter to shoot is not only a valuable investment for the both of you, it will be one of the most rewarding.

It's pretty bad when my daughter has more rounds through a new NFA toy than I do.
