Welcome to the Colorado AR-15 Shooters Club Discussion Forums.
Nothing like seeing the kiddos discovering a whole new world. That has been one of my favorite parts of being a parent.
That being said, starting them *before* they know everything, (which happens around 13 or so), is one of the best things we can do for our children. Good job!
Very cool!!

I just love seeing the joy of a first-time shooter. Keep it up.
Awesome! Teaching them young is great!
Thats Awesome!! I wish I could teach my boy again. He's 18 now, and knows it all!
Be true to your Family and Friends! A handshake, and your word is all it takes!!
Nice! Yeah, they need to learn young, especially safety & respect. She's gonna be a sharpshooter by jr.high, haha!Originally Posted by griebel303
She's cute as a button, and I think it's terrific that you're teaching her this skill. Good on you!
Thanks for the pics....and story. Put a smile on my face.
Will look forward to seeing the pics of her groups.
It's been longer than I would have liked but I just haven't been able to shoot much lately. However, I did make it out for a few hours yesterday afternoon and brought Calla out as well. Thanks to Spleify, Calla was able to shoot good quality ammo that really cycled well through the smith and wesson m&p22. The pistol was a friends that I wanted Calla to "try out" for size. It was still too large for her hands, but she still had a great time and did surprisingly well.
We set her up about 9 yards back from the target. I should have put her closer.... Here are some pics I took while she was shooting. My friend was watching over her while I snapped a few with the phone. She had a couple flyers but look at that tight little group at the bottom!I think she did well considering it was only her second time firing any gun, it was a BIG pistol (for her) and how far back she was.
She only shot a few rounds at the paper target. After that, she wanted to blast cans so this one target was all she had on paper. We'll keep working on her marksmanship for sure!
Also, she is wearing eye protection....just hidden behind her hair. Safety first!

There's a man who leads a life of danger.To everyone he meets he stays a stranger.With every move he makes, another chance he takes.Odds are he won't live to see tomorrow.
Nice! Love the hat too! That's one of my favorite latin phrases. But yeah, the gun looks really huge for her right now, but if she can control it fairly well now she should be set for life!
