May want to take her to the range to get some practice in... even if it's a different gun, like a .22 or something. Make sure her gun is zeroed as well.
I'd also suggest taking a backpack with extra clothes, etc. It's always nice to have them if you need them.
Teach her to have fun and that it's more about the experience and enjoyment of the whole ordeal, not just the kill.
