Took my daughter shooting for the 1st time!

on a side note, whats up with every one leaning back... lean in to the weapon, makes recoil much easier to deal with... just saying.

I generally see this with women. Guns are heavy so they are leaning back to help compensate from the weight. The other big reason is they have never been taught how to hold one right.

Of course give them a quick lesson and some trigger time this goes away.

My daughter is only 2 and a half and I can't wait to go shooting with her.

Why are you waiting? Why cant she go now? Why not get her exposed early and in the right ways?


Nephew was just over 3 in this pic. He got to shoot 5 rounds. You will not believe how long he talked about "shooting bears with uncle John", that is what he came up with.


Yes I know we dont have eye protection (I am bad about that). The ammo we were shooting was the very quiet kind specifically so we did not have to wear hearing so there was no question about him hearing commands.

Well done, fellow father. Awesome!

I think my Daughter was 5 the first time I took her shooting. She's 7 and got her first .22 last year for xmas. Gotta start em younger so they aren't afraid. But good job anyways.

I got my daughter her first weapon at 5, it was a pink henry cricket .22 bolt. She really liked that gun especially the process involved in dealing with loading the bolt. That gun unfortunately was stolen (along with some other special guns) but now she has a Rossi match set .22 and 410 shotty, she likes it but shes 11 now and time to upgrade to a semi I think. Here is a pic of her at last years full auto shoot at Albany, she handled the MP5 very well and anytime she started to climb she let off the trigger and reset. The photo was taken by a professional photographer (which I cant remember his name atm but ill post it after work today)

My now-10 year old keeps asking me when her Bersa .22 is coming in... I told her we could have already picked up a two-tone one... she says UGH, No...I want black.

Her patience will be rewarded eventually...

Tomorrow morning we hit the range with my Old man, She's going to try my Blackhawk with some mousefart-SWC loads...

Best part of my week!
