It was a great morning today and I took my two oldest gg daughters to the range to shoot their cricket rifle. They are 10 years and almost 7 years old. I also let the oldest choose what 22 pistols she wanted to shoot. A Ruger SR22, her favorite, and a Walther PPK/22, Ruger Mk III 22/45 lite, Ruger MK V, Phoenix, and last a Rossi 22 Plinker all made the trip. We used a heavy duty tripod with a ball mount and a padded rest I made just for shooting. I also took along a Rossi 62C that's the next step up for them.
We were shooting various swinging targets at about 23 yards as I set them up in front of one of the 25 yard target boards. The 10 year old hardly ever missed with the red dot sighted guns. She is also pretty good with the SR22 and almost as good with the Walther and not quite as good with the Rossi and the Phoenix. Its not the guns. I shoot the Phoenix and Rossi better than the SR22. She also did very good with the Rossi rifle even though it's a little large for her but the rest helped. I named her Deadeye.
Little sis got into the game with the crickett and a little help from Grandpa. She is small and wasn't strong enough to cock it although she handled all the other steps just fine. She had about 65 % hits and the little rifle is large for her at this time. I named her Deadeye 2 and that got a big grin.
It was a great day.
