This is GUN relate at the end.
I have a 7 year old daughter who wants nothing to do with guns. She knows my wife and I both carry and she feels safe around us, and she is ok around guns as long as I am with her, but she never wanted to shoot anything, or go to any gun class.
Well my son got a BB gun for Christmas, because he cant shoot his .22 in the back yard.
So my son is shooting his BB gun at empty fruit and veggie cans, so I get my High Power Pellet rifle with scope out and shoot and let my son shoot. My daughter sees this and asks if she can shoot my pellet rifle so I say sure.
I rest the rifle on a chair and put her finger on the trigger since shes only 7 and its an adult pellet rifle its hard for her to reach everything. I tell her to look thru the scope and put the X on the can and pull the trigger. NO HELP from me other than directions and she pulls the trigger and hits the can on her first shot. She takes the can in and shows her mom and everyone, she is so proud.
THEN she asks me if she can shoot the real guns with me sometime. I said sure and I asked if she wants to take he Hunter Safety class and a Youth firearms class at the range and she said "YES DADDY as long as your with me" then she asked if I would take her to the range soon to shoot her brothers .22 rifle, of course I said YES.
WOOOooo HOOOooooo I got the WHOLE family shooting now.
