There's something really special about taking a kid to the range the first time. In this case, it's one of those daddy-daughter moments that I wouldn't trade for anything. But even if you're taking a friend's kids, or other family member, it's still special. I know for my daughter it's something she had asked to do for some time now, I'm sure because she sees daddy going to the range periodically. I think there's a practical side to this for her, too. She's helped me process one of my deer before, and not only did she love helping but she was fascinated. She thinks deer and elk are delicious, so she wants to be able to help fill the freezer!

Kudos to everyone who takes a kid shooting. I think it's really important that kids learn proper gun safety (as opposed to no gun education at all, like so many people seem to think is 'best') not to mention encouraging the next generation of shooters.
