    Default Kid with a gun - Positive news story

    Thought I would share, my daughter is a pistol shooting and made a bit of a stir at Nationals this year. This resulted in a few positive news features in the local press. As it is pretty rare to see shooting sport and kids highlighted in a positive way I thought I would post.

    In the gazette today was a nice piece

    and on the local broadcast station was this one...

    and from usashooting is this one...

    Pretty cool stuff and some exciting times ahead for her. You will see me start selling off gear to fund some of the travel next year if she decides to go for Rio.

    Lastly, if you want more info on how to get your kids involved we have a great club hosted in Colorado Springs for kids and adults.

    Way, way cool. I can't even imagine the sacrifices you and your family must have made to get her where she is now. Congratulations!

    Congrats, quite the accomplishment. Hope you don't have to sell stuff to get her to Rio, I donate to USA Shooting precisely to support this kind of thing.
