We had arrows made for her so she could actually practice with it. (The arrows that come with those bows are junk.) She's also learning to shoot the same single-shot .22 I learned on.
Her younger sister watches and learns.
It's important to get kids into shooting and hunting. It makes my husband really angry when we go out to the range and see guys practicing, but nobody has brought their kids along. Why not?
I'll be watching for your posts.
(The sheep are all named Shirley. Makes it easy to remember their names.)
Welcome to Huntingnet
Thats awesome that you are getting your children involved. .22's are great guns for kids to start with. And yes its frustrating to see families who don't involve their children. I write a lot about hunting, especially the basics for women getting involved. You can find some of my blogs at the link in my signature.
My husband got me into hunting too. I grew up in the outdoors though fishing and everything else, just never had a place to hunt. Now we share it, our lives revolve around it, its our passion
