I posted last year about getting my oldest daughter involved in a family tradition of shooting. She enjoyed my Marlin 60 last year so much that I got her a Pink Cricket for Christmas this year. We finally got out to shoot it today.
It took her about 5 shots to figure out the peep sights since she was used to the scope on my .22. Once she had it figured out, she was right on target.
She's pointing to her hit in the center of the steel plate. She was closer to the middle than daddy and papaw (the shots around her finger).
Beer can's beware...she's gunning for you!
I did notice that even though she's scoring a hit on the steel here, she was popping her head up to see if she hit. Gonna have to work on that a bit in the future, but the rest of her technique was very good. She's a natural.

A happy little girl. She didn't want to stop shooting, which was ok by me! I only put 10 rounds through the AR I brought as I was having so much fun watching her shoot. She was so happy she was doing cartwheels!
