The kid came home and put a whooping on her dad.

[H&Hhunter]

My daughter came home for the weekend from vet school and we decided to head out to the range for our annual 200 yard tight group contest.

She was shooting her custom built Model 70 6.5/06 topped with a Zeiss 2x10x44 HD5. I was shooting my stock Sako S20 in 6.5 PRC topped with a Swarovski 3.5X18. Here is her 200 yard 4 shot group.





I am not even going to show mine, let’s just say it was multiples larger than hers. This kid has always been deadly with her rifle. But she hasn’t shot in over a year so I figured I was going to whoop up on her this time.

I was wrong!

Maybe she's been practicing with tranquilizer dart guns?

Nice shooting.

 

[H&Hhunter]

The rifle is a stainless M-70 classic CRF action with a stainless 26” Bartline 1 in 8.5 twist barrel. The stock is D’Arcy Echols legend and it was built by a custom gun smith buddy of mine up in Gillette Wy.

The load is 50 Gr of RE22 under a 140 Gr Nosler Ballistic Tip @ 2850 FPS.

I hope she’s been practicing, she’s headed to South Africa this summer to do just that. She’s going to be darting elephants and other stuff from a helicopter with wildlife vets. She’s going with 8 other vet students who all got into an intern program through the international vet student exchange program.

Mighty fine shootin'!

I just don't get out shooting as much as I used to "way back when". But I have a daughter who is like that...and she doesn't shoot much (unless we just make the time to do so). All our shooting has been open sight and not nearly such ranges.

For the first time with her shooting a "real" gun (all our kids learned on BB guns and are quite good), she decided she wanted to shoot my 12 ga Remington 870. Now, she's not a big girl, but that was her choice.

The other two chose differently...the boy wanted to shoot my Beretta 92FS (because of course, he's a boy) and the youngest daughter wanted to shoot one of my bolt action .22's. All had plenty of familiarization time with them before we went to the range.

I thought the length and weight might give her some issues, and definitely made sure I was standing ready next to here "just in case". (Even though all we were shooting was inexpensive "target" rounds from Walmart.) She hefted and shouldered it like a champ, leaned into it just the way she was taught for a standing stance, and calmly as you please put a nice, tight shot pattern in the middle of the face of a zombie silhouette target. (The target was at 7 yards...she was 12 at the time, if I remember correctly.)

I looked at her. I looked at the target. I looked back at her. "A head shot?"

She said "It's a zombie target, Daddy. It's gotta be a head shot!"

That's my girl!

That’s just so cool. I mean off the charts cool.

I’m jealous! I wish I could go with her.

Man I bet! That looks like one slick rifle I will own a 6.5-06 one day!!!! Already have a 6.5 PRC a custom Model 70 it don’t get much better than that!

 

[qwert65]

Great shooting! what kind of veterinary medicine does she want to practice ?

 

[Obturation]

Great shooting!
She can put the animals down or fix them up, good work.

 

[toivo]

I call that a "whupping" ...

 

[H&Hhunter]

Great shooting! what kind of veterinary medicine does she want to practice ?

Right now she’s thinking exotics/zoo med.

 

[JCooperfan1911]

Beautiful girl and good shooting.

 

[Spats McGee]

I’m going to guess that you’d rather be whooped by her than just about anybody else in the world.

 

[LoonWulf]

Great shooting! Not all that many folks woulda beat that with a sporter rifle.

 

[doubleh]

15 year old great grand daughter puts a whooping on Granpa every now and then with pistols. I'm the one that taught her to shoot and it makes me proud when she does. To keep her from getting too obnoxious about it I tell her I have 70 more years of wear and tear than she does. I wish it was less so I would have longer to enjoy her and the other four.

It's my experience that every time you teach a female to shoot she will end up out doing you.

That’s been my experience as well.

 

[horsemen61]

That’s been my experience as well.

Yup my wife will do it on a whim and out shoot me constantly lol

 

[H&Hhunter]

She told me that she wants to learn to shoot a handgun now. So I figure I’m in for for more whoopings soon.

 

[Ignition Override]

That's a fine young lady you have!

Maybe she will have a little access to a true South African FAL rifle if she is pretty lucky.

She probably won't be near any park rangers who protect against poachers.

 

[Pat Riot]

That’s some fine shooting.

Absolutely no reason women can`t be great shooters. Fine motor skills, a " gentle touch " on the gun, etc. , all adds up to what you see.

Significant others, should there be any, would be put on notice, " Don`t mess with this girl! "
