You missed it. Out here in the country, when we butcher a beef everyone gets too help clean the kill. Thats what a "practical anatomy lesson" is. My little girl is well on her way knowing how to use a knife.
No I didn't miss anything. If your daughter helps clean the kill then thats great. Thats what I am talking about. Too many times the kid makes the kill then gets put down for a nap while the work gets done. As far as "out here in the country" I grew up in Fred, Texas so I know all about butchering hogs, beef and deer since I was old enough to hold a knife.
"Pulling the trigger" is poor marksmanship skill, if this is your technique, I'd suggest you seak a range sesson with qualified instuctor. At our ranch we teach all aspects of marksmanship, including trigger control.
Get real. How many kids do you think know about trigger and breath control, much less have the maturity level to exercise it when a deer is in the sights? A few do yes, but for the most part they don't.
