Killin Jugs

Post by Springville Shooter » Sat Apr 17, 2010 8:26 pm

We haven't even got the tags in the mail yet and all my daughter wants to do is shoot shoot shoot. Milk jugs within 200 yds of her are in big trouble and she's improving her offhand shooting every time we go out. Her rifle is a Remington 788 .308 with the barrell shortened to 18" and a gentry brake. The stock is also shortened for her with a kickeez pad. She shoots 125 Nosler ballistic tips loaded light. She's been shooting this rig for about 2 years, but this year we hope to get her shooting at a Utah mulie! Fun stuff!---------shooter

Fun stuff indeed. :thumb Sweet little youth rifle you have there. Enjoy every minute of it. My daughter was very excited to go hunting with me. She would tag along and shortly after she took her hunter safety course and could hunt for real she went through some kind of demonic hormonal transformation. She thought that maybe she was a vegetarian and could never kill an animal. :>/ Her gun sits in the case and hasn't been shot since. I doubt if this will happen to you, but I never saw it coming to me. Treasure every moment with your daughter that you can. They can grow up in a blink of the eye.

Funny you should mention that Win....My daughter came home from school one day with her head filled with a bunch of anti-hunting propaganda placed there by one of her teachers. We quickly had a Ted Nugent style intervention and so far it's lasted. Seems like poor sports kids never get a rest in todays society.--------shooter

I've had the opportunity to mentor kids. Mine and others. It's the best time you'll have. :thumb
Nice rig too. God bless.

Springville,

I would sure love to see a pic posted of your duaghter with her first buck come this fall. May it happen to you. As for the anti hunting sentiment, my daughter drew a birthday card for my brother that hunt's coyotes. She had a coyote in a chair reading a newpaper. Another coyote walks in looks at the mount on the wall and says nice human, where'd you take him? the human head mount was her best attempt to draw my brothers head. It was good for a laugh, but concerning at the same time. She has a hard time drawing the distinction between domestic dogs, which she loves, and the vermin that coyotes are. Oh well my boys are on the right path. Three years to go til my oldest son will be in the draws for tags.
"Some day I'll scout out a monster, spot him while hunting, make the stalk of a lifetime, and have dreams come true. 'Til then I'll be happy with the buck in my cross-hairs."
