Shooting guns with a child?

Well what ever anyone thinks about it, my daughter had a marvelous time shooting today. She showed more responsibility than I've seen out of any youngster lately.
She respected the firearm rules and just did a hell of a lot of bonding with the old dad. So even if they are trying to make mine the last generation of shooters, they have
a long way to go.

Just a damn good afternoon.

Turns out she's a darn good shot too[UZI]

[buffalobo]

Good on you pops.[Beer]

[wctriumph]

That is awesome. I will be taking my daughter out shooting, I hope, next Sunday and give her some experience with my 9mm. She like the Bushy and wants to shoot it again too.

[ray1970]

Nice.

[10mm-man]

Shit if they tell you that, then I wait to see what they tell me! My son knows more about firearms than I (hate to admit) I do..... Wait until they see him (a 10 y.o)in my launch videos!!

Nice job with the lil lady!

[Lippy Laroux]

Do it whenever we get a chance.. Everyone should make a effort to counter the "Marxist hand wringing" taught in schools about the evil of firearms.

Congratulations to your and your Daughter, Robby.

That is really cool, brother.

[Fentonite]

If this wasn't so uncommon, our country would be a better place. I'm glad there are still dads like you (and kids like her) out there. Keep it up. [Awesom]

hehe, we started out harvesting firewood but got sidetracked.

shooting a CZ?

Who cares what anyone thinks. It's part of growing up, unafraid of guns, unafraid to defend herself if it came to that.

[Digi]

Hell yeah she's a good shot! She was on target with my Henry lever action .22 at 25 yards on an 8"x8" plate. 10/10 would operate with.

Were you shooting with Bruce Campbell this weekend?

Very cool! I can't wait for the snow to freaking melt so I can take my 8 yo out for the first time.

[glenncal1]

I think I started with my dad at around 4 or 5, we shot together for 50 years till he passed. Anti's can KMA

[Aloha_Shooter]

Yeah, I'm trying to convince my sister to let me start teaching her 11-year-old son -- she has no problems (now) with me taking the 13-year-old to the range but for some reason wants to talk about the 11-year-old's "maturity". I told her maturation is one of the reasons we teach boys to shoot and I just helped do range safety for a bunch of 6-10 year olds down at the Cheyenne Mountain Shooting Complex a couple weeks ago.

[sniper7]

Eyes and ears are on! Great work! Glad she had a great time!

[griebel303]

Good work on taking your daughter out. Cool to see you guys share that bond. I hope to be able to do the same oneday when I have some kids

[losttrail]

Well done. I take my daughters out shooting also. Not as often as we would like but have been doing it since they were 2 years old and they're now 18.

[Ronin13]

Robby, first off, good on ya! Hope it was fun... But the thing I'm wondering, how old is your daughter? By that picture she looks like a teen, not young enough to be classified as a "child." Just saying. Has she asked for an AR-15 for her birthday, yet?

[Tinelement]

Give yourself a pat on the back sir!

She'll be a teen late this year. Her favorite is the 10/22 but we only had the bolt action 22LR with us yesterday. She has yet to shoot an AR but I think once she does......yes that will be on her birthday wish list.

[ChuckNorris]

Awesome!

Jewelry and an AR for her next birthday! Woo hoo!

[hghclsswhitetrsh]

Awesome. Looks like good family fun.

[GhostRider]

very nice, good for you, all of my kids shoot, and I will be continuing on the grandson and 3 grand nephews this summer, I have to wait for the grand daughters though, they are only 1 1/2 yrs old, lol

[Dave_L]

Good work!

I can't wait to have kids to teach.

[CroiDhubh]

Looks like a good ole time. Good for you. It is a great bonding experience. From the time I was a child my father included all of us in the shooting world. At 5 I had my first Daisy BB gun. At 7 I had a .22LR pistol. At 10 I had a 410 shotgun. We never had toy guns, since there were firearms in the house and you did NOT play with guns. Squirt guns were another matter [Coffee]

My brother and I take his kids hunting and shooting as well. The oldest at 7 respects firearms and nature more because of it. She even said, "Thank you, piggy." one time at a BBQ to her short ribs because she understood an animal gave it's life so she could eat. She's a great kid and will grow up better balanced and respectful than most of these youths because of it.

[sellersm]

As some already said: if this were a more common occurrence...

Good job! My oldest girl, who's 17, loves the AK74, the 10/22 and the S&W Governor! My 12 yo daughter likes her 'tacticool' 10/22. She's waiting to go shoot up her 1D poster!

[Hound]

The people who think that is wrong are the same people that have never shot a gun and don't think anybody should. For the rest of us this is just part of growing up. Good for you and forget them. The problem is more people should be doing this!

I'd like to add mine in here too. Teaching firearms safety to my girls is one of the best things I've done for them. We have enjoyed so many hours of great family fun and both girls have matured in the areas of responsibility and focus. The three of us are signed up to take a hunter's safety class this summer. The little one is absolutely deadly accurate with her Cricket rifle. She can dead-center a golfball at 35 yards EVERY TIME.
