Took My Six Year Old Girl Shooting

[The Hate Ape]

She hated the .22, and took a run walk crawl approach to shooting pistols.

By the end of the day she was shooting pairs on the Smith & Wesson 9mm (and my Glock 43) and squeezed off a round of .357 Magnum.

That's one way to spend child visitation I suppose....

She hated the .22...

That's a bit unusual for a kid...She's going straight for the heavy hitters.

I love when kids learn at an early age that weapons aren't supposed to be feared but respected.

Sounds like a fun time was had by all parties involved.

When RP and I took our daughter shooting she was the same way. She prefers the SCAR to the .22. She's 6...lol

I'm impressed with the .357!! I noticed the 9mm box of ammo you were using. It looks the same as what I saw at Wal-mart a couple of weeks ago. A box of Remmington 50 rounds IIRC ,at a pretty low cost. Were you happy with the rounds??

Yeah but my go to is the federal 100rd box for 19.99.

She didn't mind the .22, but she progressed quickly into 7.62 due to mechanical failure of the .22, and her desire to keep shooting.

I think that's what Christopher Walken was referring to by needing more "cow bell." Nice shooting RP.

Me and my daughter are peas in a pod and slightly crazy. We even stole my dad's bike afterward for a quick trip to WaWa.
