My daughter has always has been interested in guns from the time she was very little. I promised her her own rifle when she turned ten and she started to remind me of that fact a few months before her 10th birthday. I kept my promise and made her responsible for that little rifle. She loved to go hunting with me but never had interest in shooting anything, she just liked to go along. When I was lucky enough to harvest something, she was right there up to her elbows in the mess of things. She later went into the U.S.Navy and easily qualified Expert in both rifle and handgun and even went on to be part of a Tactical unit. To this day, she still loves to shoot and has her CCW and carries regularly. Little girls are just as much fun as little boys when it comes to shooting. Trust me, wait till the day your little angel outshoots you. It's a very proud moment.
