Took daughter to the range

Engine4 · Sep 19, 2014

My daughter is showing interest in shooting (I've had her out at the farm with .22 rifles), so took her to Hap Baker today to break her in on a .22 revolver. Started slow with 1 round at a time, then she graduated up to loading it herself. Baby steps....

Good job Dad!

Reminds me of the first time I took my daughter to the range. I have created a monster. ( now, I have to buy twice the amount of ammo )

Nice. Work on that grip too. And the wardrobe too while your at it

Congratulations, dad. When I serve as duty range officer at my Izaak Walton League range, my shift is doubly worthwhile when a parent brings their son or daughter shooting for the first time. We do all we can to make it a great experience. It makes my day, and it's really fun seeing that some kids take to shooting like ducks take to water.

I find that all first time shooters take to shooting like ducks take to water. I have not had a single person come out to the range and not have a good time. Didn't matter who or what they were, they all loved it.

Yes. No tea cup. That left hand thumb can cross over behind the hammer. This allows for better recoil management in the future if shooting a higher caliber revolver

LOVE LOVE LOVE having the kids at the range.

Congrats! My kids always enjoy the range. They will get a nice surprise next time when they see the new SR22 I got. Upgrading from the rifle to pistol will be fun.

I love the days that I get to spend at the range with my kids

I still go to the range with my dad who is 94. I also still go to the range with my kids who are in thier late 20s. It never gets old. I have an eye on my two year old grandson as he can already make his own Lego guns.

He should be able to shoot a Cricket at the age 3. Ask me how I know?
