gleninjersey 2,141 Posted June 9, 2014 Took my oldest daugher to the range for the first time. She was a little apprehensive and had backed out a time or two previously but this time she did it. By the time we left she was loading the magazines, slideing the mags in, racking the slide and clearing failure to ejects (ammo problem, not the gun's) She had a wonderful time. Big thanks to my friend and forum member Sof who let us borrow his 22 Buckmark. She now wants a 22 in "sparkly blue". LOL. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

T Bill 649 Posted June 9, 2014 Congratulations. Cherish the memories. If more Dads like you took their daughter to the range, we would not be in the shape we are in. After all, we all know women rule this world. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
magnawing 5 Posted June 9, 2014 I took my 15 year old son to the Shotgun Shootout on Saturday and he had a ball. Little B@$+@rd shot better than I did. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ted527 21 Posted June 9, 2014 my 16 year old daughter shoots steel plate with my old mark II, i put pink grips on it for her. her times smoke my oldass... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,141 Posted June 20, 2014 Awesome! (Better hope DYFS doesn't see your photo or you will have a tank parked on your lawn and a black helicopter circling some day soon!) What's sad is there is a little of truth behind that. Look at the thread I started under the 1st Amendment thread about Kid Twirling A Pencil. DYFS sent father a letter threatening to take away all his parental rights and have his son put into adoption if they didn't take the son for testing. Sounds like a sick joke but in reality it is just sick. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jm1827 284 Posted June 20, 2014 I love it...all 3 of my kids shoot and really look forward to it. They enjoy the shooting itself and they also enjoy the 1:1 time with Dad. I can honestly say it is a highlight that they all look forward to. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jm1827 284 Posted June 20, 2014 And I have to admit, my 13 year old daughter is as good or better than me with the small bore rifle! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mr.Stu 1,922 Posted June 21, 2014 With 2 daughters who are getting to the maturity where learning to shoot is appropriate for them, does anyone have a .22 rifle surplus to requirements because it is now too small for your kids?

jm1827 284 Posted September 28, 2014 Good job, I need to get a 22 to take my girl shooting. You don't absolutely need a 22, my 13 year old daughter is fine with my 686 using 38 or 357 mag. as well as my Mosin and my 243. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gleninjersey 2,141 Posted February 16, 2015 Not firearms related, but my 12 year old is helping me paint one of our rentals. She WANTED to come help. It was a VERY GOOD DAY! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
