Sco77w Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 Well. I was quite happy when Alex (14) showed an interest in clay shooting but I'm now thinking it could cost me. Not only my hard earned money but she'll probably be putting in better scores than me within weeks. 25 targets with a club gun and she hit over half of the targets, and the first thing she asked was "can we go again tomorrow Dad?" Can't streach to another lesson but I'll take her and let her shoot my gun. A big thanks to Peter for his expert tuition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sg1 Posted July 16, 2011 Report Share Posted July 16, 2011 I say 'let her be' I can't wait til my daughter starts clay shooting (she's 5 at mo) I've drummed gun safety etc into her, and her siblings and the day she comes shooting with me will be be a tear in the eye occasion!! DON'T discourage her and always hope better for your kids then you ever had!! atvb sg1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DON'T discourage her and always hope better for your kids then you ever had!! atvb sg1 I second that. My youngest daughter showed an interest, and started to come to the ground with me, but then she found boys!?!?!? Trust me I would take the expense and embarrassment of her shooting regularly, and even beating my scores over her interest in boys any day of the week and twice on sundays.

Just make sure you dont try to go too far too fast and her put her off (Thats what happened with my sister) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loafer Posted July 20, 2011 Report Share Posted July 20, 2011 Just make sure you dont try to go too far too fast and her put her off (Thats what happened with my sister) I'd advise you grab some Hull 21g cartridges or some ealy subsonics so as to not injure herself early on.
