Took my daughter to the Rocky Mountain State Games yesterday. She did well. Took home the gold for youth. The age limit was 10, but they changed it so she could shoot to. Great day!

To be clear, she was the overall winner. A 7 year old girl. Pretty cool.

Okay, just read the whole article...

And her favorite part of shooting? Her answer is simple; "Hitting the target."

See?, kids don't know how "hard" it is. She has had some fine instruction! In my firearm classes, the kids regularly outshoot the adults! Hopefully, they never figure out how "hard" it is. (Hey, it's only sight alignment and trigger control, right?)

Good on you, Zach O!

Just in case you guys missed this little tidbit.

Everyone that showed up to shoot, got beat by a girl. A 7 year old girl.

Awesome.
