That's freakin sweet. "Hurry papa, load another magazine" is what I want to hear if I ever become a father lol. I think it's great that you start educating your young ones about firearm safety and shooting at a young age. Well, load her another mag!

Shorter LOP- Yes, but this is the first time out with her. She is a midgit compared to her sister at the same age. I do have another 10/22 stock and I may whack it down to fit her... but it's gonna be like 10"! Usually the kid rifles are 12-13". We managed anyway to find her a modified shooting pos that worked for the intro:)

It seems like she can't reach her hand around the thumbhole; maybe a regular Monte Carlo style stock would be easier.

My nieces are almost 4; hopefully they'll be shooting in the next couple years.

Re: My younger daughter driving....

I got my daughter a 10/22 Junior model for her 7th birthday. Soon she will move up to a .223 bolt action and my youngest will get the 10/22 until she gets old enough for a little more power. Just because they are little girls doesn't mean they have to be girlie.

Re: My younger daughter driving....

Mine is 7 and ive wanted to start her on the basics but I thought it was to early. Just curious, how did you approach this with the mother and how did your daughter act when you told her she was going to shoot a rifle?

Re: My younger daughter driving....

You're lucky like you can't believe. I tried to get my kids to shoot, no dice. No interest, couldn't get them interested no matter how simple/fun I tried to make it.

Hate to say it, too much of their mother in them.

Re: My younger daughter driving....

I still have my first rifle, think I was 5 when I got it. Marlin single shot bolt .22 rim. I carry it in the deerstand with a handful of CB caps. Really short LOP, but I love that little rifle.

I had a housefire when I was 17 and the gun was destroyed, or so i thought. My dad took it, had the barrel cerakoted and refinished the stock. Gave it to me as an early xmas gift. I admit, I got all teary eyed. Still drives tacks.

Keep it up with your kids, they're the future.
