The next generation

[bdb]

She loves helping me on my build projects. At 5 she has a pink Crossman 760 and helps me at any chance with loading stripper clips or changing out parts on AR builds. Tonight it was putting on MOE hand guards and loading mags for a range trip in the AM.

I don't know if she will be pro 2A but at least she has exposure, time will tell View attachment 67555

Adorable!!!! +1 for starting her off right!

What, no stickers on the stock?

Congratulations, I'm sure you are very proud of her, and you should be!

She's a darling.

She is teeny. I guess it's time to open a NFA trust and build her a SBR...

Nice..just don't post on FB.

Thanks guys, yes I am proud of her Wrench, not a bad thought but I think the pellet gun and then into a Savage Rascal next year is enough for her for a while Her mom is not nearly as happy about her interest in it as I am. She's been out deer hunting with me 3 times and is becoming a decent little turkey caller. I was raised in a hunting family and want her to enjoy as much of it as possible since who knows what the future will hold for the hunting and shooting sports. It certainly will not become easier to participate in either!

Right - that picture is enough to get raided in NJ. And probably arrested in Brookline.

Which, of course, means you're doing it right.

My daughter is turning 5 soon. Time for us to play catch up I think! Well done.

Absolute little doll. Spending time with your kids is great. Spending time with your kids doing something you love is infectious.

+1! It's a sad world we live in where all it takes is a picture to have your door knocked in.

^ Yeah, no kidding.

 

[Business]

thats awesome

 

[greenfar0608]

That's great. Can't wait for my son to be old enough to get him involved.

 

[PilotRPI]

Is that a picture of her on the way to show and tell? She'll totally beat the kid that found a turtle in his backyard.

Way to raise a child! Freedom is not free and it's encouraging to know that there are parents on NES that will raise their children to understand the value of their rights and the sacrifice it takes to preserve them. We will follow her lead someday - and we will be all the better for it!

Nope, no lost grip. He was bracing the magwell up against the bench to have better stability so he gripped the mag a little bit. I wouldn't let him shoot my SBR because of the recoil but that upper with the XTC felt like a little 22 going off so I wasn't afraid of him being overpowered by it and jamming a finger (against the mag) while firing.

Awesome, great shots!!!! It will be a few more years before mine is actually shooting it. And I won't rush the years away, I am a big fan of this age but scared to death of the pre-teen and teen years

 

[MAGG]

ahh ok was just curious....thanks. glad you guys had fun

It just comes down to your comfort level and maturity of the child. Mine will be 9 in June and has shown very competent awareness and respect of firearms. I still won't let him shoot my AK, handguns or my 10.3 SBR but he ripped it up with my 14.5 barrel/XTC brake.

PS. Sorry for hijacking your thread with my pix!

 

[bdb]

Not a problem, its all good. Maybe I'll run into you at MRA sometime as it looks like that's where you were. I'll be at MRA today at 3 with the build my daughter was holding!

 

[Dadstoys]

Nice job dad. Give it few years and she might be showing you up at the range

 

[Terrys]

Wonderful. Brings tears to my eyes.

Cute but I hope you are teaching her the Eddie The Eagle rules and sticking with it consistently:

If you see a gun:
STOP!
Don't Touch.
Leave the Area.
Tell an Adult.

absolutely!!

"Please tell an adult as long as they are someone you know who shoots."

Too complicated?

 

[gerrycaruso]

Enjoy it while you can. When she reaches her teens, you'll probably become quite dumb, and stay that way until she's in her 20s. Then, if you're lucky, you'll become smart again. Good luck.
