I sent photos to the family (who are either anti-gun or just don't care) and now my sister wants to try... Have to go get a .22 bolt gun.

Cute girl, nice shooting. I am jealous; I wish my dad had a can for me to shoot with when I was a kid.

That looks like the bench rest range at ORSA.

Good for you to get her started!

Re: Daughter's first time

Well, my daughter came home from college for a 4 day weekend and wanted to go to the range.
She told me to bring the .308 because she felt wimpy shooting the .22.

She shot a match target with the .22 (and my wife did some shooting.)

Then we switched to the suppressed .308/7.62

Deanna's second time shooting the .308, this time at 100 meters (110 yards)

Re: Daughter's first time

Good shooting. My question, why did you wait till she was 18 to take her shooting?

Now, she is old enough to buy her own stuff! Guess you are smarter then me

After she graduates from college I am going to give her the .22 that I bought once she started shooting.

When we lived in Boulder county (CO) her school taught her that firearms are evil and firearm owners are not all that great, either. It has taken years to get her past that. Now she loves it and wants to shoot rimfirecentral fun matches whenever she is at home.

This last time out she told me to bring the .308 as well because she felt wimpy shooting just the .22

Re: Daughter's first time

You know its always the people that never have shot guns before that are the ones voting to ban them. It is sad but thank god for the NRA. Glad to see she came around cause shooting is alot of fun. Congrats on making shooting a family thing.
