10-year-old shooter: 'I want to be an inspiration'

[Reptile]

(CNN) -- She picks up the custom handgun painted in her favorite colors, purple and black.
Her long, black braid bounces slightly with each of the six shots she fires. Metal pings signify when she's hit the mark. She runs to the next target. Nine more shots. Reload.

Meet Shyanne Roberts, a 10-year-old competitive shooter who is out to prove something: Children with guns don't always mean disaster.
"I want to be an inspiration to other kids and be a leader," said the girl. "Kids and guns don't always mean bad things happen."
