I have three daughters and they have zero interest in anything to do with shooting.
In his book "Bringing Up Girls", child psychologist Jim Dobson relays the story of a young lady who was a champion at shooting trap, but always felt that all her dad cared about was showing off how well his daughter could shoot, and that he really didn't know her or care about her much as a person.
I don't want to be "that dad" so I don't push it at all.
If they're interested, they can ask me about it. Otherwise, it's just one of daddy's hobby things.
I'm making each girl a hope chest for their 16th BD and offering to let them participate in whatever level they want. Each one is different and wants to be involved at a different level.
