new shooter in the mix
I had bought my 6.5 year old granddaughter Lillie a pink cricket rifle for her for Christmas 2 years ago and it was finally time for her to learn how to shoot today. We went out back and I gave her a brief safety lesson and instructions on how to load, aim and shoot. She managed to "kill" 7 diet coke cans in 8 shots. We were using CB longs at a distance of about 5 yards and they really made the cans pop. She was excited about it and said she wants to shoot the next time she comes to visit.
 Here's a couple pics. Pardon the bald head and beer gut. It was hot out

Now the only thing you need to do is HIDE the 10-22 and the good ammo for awhile, My failing, My daughters pink cricket jammed her brother saw his opportunity and was feverishly hurrying to kill all the reaming soda cans with his camo cricket, He really impressed me with how fast he could shoot and reload, So fast at 5 years old, I could not of kept up, She pleaded with me to PLEEEEEseeeeeee dad let me use your rifle HEeeeess shooting them all !!!!!!!
The rest is history I still have all of the remaining sub sonic ammo and the 2 safe queens 12 years later, These are the BEST years of ours and theirs glad to see you take your turn and let her shine, I cant wait to get to my grandkids....

Charlie:
You're off to a great start with the girl. far as the bald head and gut, you'll just have to learn to live with 'em now! (like many others here) SEM: I learned the same lesson with my 5y/o son while out duck hunting. We took a break and I got him to shooting my Blackhawk 30 carbine at a big rock. After just about all my shells were gone he wanted the good one's and i had to refuse.

Congrats to both of you! I started all 3 or my grandkids on a Henry mini bolt .22. When the middle one (at age 6 or 7) killed his first varmint (possum that was robbing the cat's food) he claimed it was "the best day of his life".

Great job and wonderful memories for both of you. We all need to do this as often as possible, for us and the future of our sports. My granddaughters that I showed shooting earlier this summer are now asking when I can come to their place to take them shooing since they took their rifles with them. How nice is that.
