It's been a long wait but my granddaughter went to her first match today, she shot the hunters pistol targets resting on the stands and managed a 18 and a 12. She also hit 5 in a row pigs, not bad for an 8 year old.

Congratulations!! You have an oportunity to grow a shooting buddy that will be a rewarding and blessed return on your investment of time. Be prepared for her to succeed and start putting a beat down on you regularly...don't worry, you won't mind a bit.

I see, you bring out the family AFTER I move away. I see how it is. Looks like she had a heck of a good time!

Good to see some of my buddies in the background there too.

After she shot turkeys and only hit 2 I heard a classic line from her "I wish I could have hit more of those turkeys grandpa" to which I replied "pretty much everyone here is thinking the same thing princess!!!!".

VERY NICE POST!! It is always a good thing to get a new shooter involved. Congrats for your effort and KICK BUTT at the next match.

That big ol' grin says it all!!! Nice post.
