Photos Took my daughter out shooting...

[TRyanOC]

I took my 17 y.o. daughter out shooting. First time behind a rifle of any kind for her. I spent about 10 minutes going over some fundamentals and let her shoot a 14" steel target at 400yds. I know it's a big target, but I wanted her to get some good hits. She went 8/8, I was impressed and she was a happy camper!

good on you (and her)! EVERYONE needs to get their kids (and their friends) out shooting! More shooters = more pro 2A voting.

Thank you and I agree 100%!

Excellent!

Of my 4 kids, my 17 year old daughter enjoys shooting the most. Must be something about the red hair.

You should check the ranges in your area and see if any of the run Jr Rifle club programs. My daughter joined one here and she really enjoyed it.

That's awesome you got your daughter into shooting and the rifle club. I'll have to look into rifle clubs in my area. I think she would enjoy it.

So good! I remember my dad taking me out for shooting, when I was 16 y.o., that became or tradition for some time.

Never could get my daughter to get into shooting. She holds the house record for clays, though, having hit one and shot once when I pulled the trigger while the gun was on her shoulder. Thankfully, she’s very pro 2A, and most importantly, situationally aware. My sons are a different story, but not the shot my daughter could be.

I have 2 daughters (17 & 10) .. They are both hammers and really enjoy shooting. Oldest has shot 3 PRS matches with me. Youngest is practicing for prs.. Great fun and very rewarding when I hear the plates ringing in front of them!!

Excellent setup and she looks like she is having fun with it, Can't help but notice that binos, looks like a Nikon.

My youngest son(34) and I have been to the range several times, mostly pistols. He has shot my R700 Varmint .308. Last year at Christmas his fiancée’s father got him a Remington sporter. He was excited to show me. I looked at it. 300WM. I said “You know what you got here?”. He says “Nope”. I showed him a picture of a 300WM next to a 308. He looked at me and said “Oh crap”. He’s never shot it
Great to see the kids and parents shooting together

That’s awesome! Getting out and spending time with family all while getting some shooting in. Can’t beat that!

Well done!

Thanks guys! I'm taking her and her boyfriend, who's never shot a gun before, out shooting again today. They're both excited. I think I'll have my daughter show him how it's done, haha

Granddaughter, 12 at the time.

This is one of the best threads one here!! Hoping to get my daughters into it more, thanks for the encouragement

That’s awesome. My 6yr old has the BB gun dialed and is getting a 22 under the tree this year.

good on everyone that gets their kids out shooting! one reason we're having this antigun epidemic is that people, kids, families, etc are not getting out and shooting. more shooters = more 2A voters.
