I've got a couple girls, one of which will be able to hunt this fall. The other will still go out with me.
We've been practicing our shooting with a little Ruger 10/22 that I put in a collapsible stock, so they could get it to fit them. They are deadly with it out to 50 yards now.
I dislike starting kids on scoped rifles, but this is 2025...so maybe I should be less of a Fudd...especially since most of my rifles are scoped anyway.
We moved from shooting off a bipod, to shooting off of bags. I've got them hitting a 10" plate on every shot sitting, kneeling, and standing... shooting off of chairs etc... I don't want them becoming dependent on a bipod and rear bag. I rarely get the opportunity to use a bipod when killing critters around the ranch.
A couple weeks ago we graduated to a 5.56, but I'm only letting them shoot 1 round in a session. Bear in mind that a "session" just means walking outside and shooting, so extremely minimal setup. Still, they have smoked every milk jug, 2-liter, and 1-liter bottle I've set out for them at 80-100 yards. They can hit the part of the label that I ask them to, and haven't had to use a bipod or rear rest to do it.
Today they graduated to a shot from their 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC II. If the guns look familiar, it's because I've probably killed at least 100 pigs with each on video. If you've never seen the videos... consider yourself lucky
.
Today was just a front bag off a table, no rear bag and they have to stabilize an unbalanced rifle. 113 yards (they'll be shooting at deer from 90 - 130 yards). Both of them hit the heart of Mr. Coyote on their first and only try today.
We'll be repeating this a couple times per week until September when I stop shooting here on the ranch.
It's a start...
And an end to my hunting for the next decade...
Totally worth it BTW.
Recent practice...

Cop looks like he put three rounds in the asphalt, should have been two to the chest, one to the head.
And he let Mohamed get too close.

Read what Frank said in his first post. The answer is yes, they just have to manually review any account that has been dormant like yours.
This was explained to those of us that watch what is and has been happening. You just missed it because you weren’t around.
Don’t get too huffy, or you might find yourself on the outside looking in.
