My daughter just turned 18 and has been shooting cowboy action since she was 13. It is amazing with the proper training how fast a young teenager can operate two Ruger 357 Vaqueros (10 rounds), a Marlin lever action 357 (10 rounds) and a double barrel 18 inch 12 gauge (4 rounds) all while under the clock.

My 15 year old daughter rockin' the AK and Marlin 45-70. Brings a tear to my eye. I don't dare take a nap on the couch if there's a hammer laying around...
Wolverines!

Very nice.

Don't be such a baby.... you didn't get here because of the Stork.... your parents were (and probably still are) freaky-freaks.

Reminds me of Zed and Maynard

Naturally, almost all on the team are girls, because they are naturally superior shooters to their male counterparts.

This has been my experience with the female species as well. Not sure why they are inclined to shoot so well, but my theory is they may not have all the preconcieved notions to overcome as do males.

I've been taking my daughter to some Olympic style junior practices at out local range. Two practices in she has the coaches stunned. The head coach (his daughter is the current national 3p champ) has really taken a liking to her. She did extremely well with smallbore last Saturday and tonight she thoroughly impressed with her air rifle skills. They use very high end equipment that is available to us at no charge. My daughter has been bugging me to get her into it so last week I took her to a practice to watch and now she's hooked! Naturally, almost all on the team are girls, because they are naturally superior shooters to their male counterparts. I'm not sure who's more excited!

That is so awesome! You are right about women being better shooters. Naturally they have better manual dexterity and sometimes better nerves. Id be a very proud dad too.

Translation: ego tends less to get in their way.

Tell me about it! I have three adult daughters all out on their own now. The oldest is 25, and the youngest one just moved out about a month ago and turns 19 in April.


I'm actually enjoying the quiet....

You had 3 daughters?!?!
Wow.
That explains a lot...............

As an update this year she is ready to try to qualify for the junior Olympics next month! She's within a couple points of an automatic qualification! I think if we change the brand of ammo she's pick up several points. Her skills are now outperforming the capabilities of the Federal Automatch. We tried some Eley match grade today and her scores jumped! I'm getting excited about a daddy and daughter trip to Colorado Springs next April!

You didn't mention what gun she is shooting but I have found that CCI Green Tag is really accurate in my Smith and Wesson Model 41. You might want to give it a try.

She's shooting an Anschutz with a model 54 action. This this has the best machineing and fit of almost anything I've seen!

I've put a few rounds of the CCI Green Tag through one of those and while I didn't shoot every load available it did improve my scores.

I'll swing bye sportsman's to see if they carry it, I need some other ammo for me as well. Thank you for the info, I'll try it out!

Since it's a "Target" Grade ammo you might have to go on-line to find it.
