    We did a little family shooting last night. I'm working my daughter up to being comfortable shooting her .243 for next years deer season. Here's here putting some in the bullseye at about 40 yards w. my .17 HMR. This was here second round of 5 shots on that target.

    That's awesome. It's always fun to see there excitement. This spring when it gets warmer I'm gonna start working with my daughter. Starting her out with a .22 then moving into a 20Ga.

    Nice!

    My daughter (12) got her first buck this past November with the .243 also. Lots of fun :D

    Britney got her first deer this year with a .243 also. I started her out with a .22 .

    You are in for some good times. I really enjoy shooting with the kids.
