*OT* Daughter's first pistol shoot
Yep... I'm a proud dad.
My only daughter turned eleven on 03MAY08 and I took her(legal minimum age is 11yrs+1day in Queensland) to my pistol club this evening on ladies night for her introduction.
With a Ruger MKII .22 and fifty standard velocity rounds, she managed to shoot the majority inside a 2.5" group on paper at about 20feet, two handed in the Weaver style.
She loved it, said her adrenalin was pumping and wished for more ammo. As it was closing time I had to say no. I think she's hooked.
I haven't got a .22 semi-auto... a Model 87 Beretta would be a nice addition. Suppose we'll have to gang-up on her mother.

I have two daughters that I have had similar experiences with, isn’t it great. I have also learned that an easy way to change the minds of those who are anti gun is to take them shooting. Once they try it, in almost every case they end up liking it and even change their opinions.
The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good men to do nothing.

If you ever visit this side of the big pond, bring her to my house, and she can shoot a M1A right in our back yard! She'd love it.

Awwww! Hard to find anything better than spending time shooting with your kids. You all made my evening. Next time I take my kids to the range, I'll have to take pics and post them.
