Sam, first, congrats.
Second, I think one of the best things which increases the "shooting experience" is having a gun you can call your own.. And so you can bet your bottom dollar that your daughter will remember and cherish it for the rest of her life..
The "Pregnant woman" stance???

Yeah... Pregnant woman stance. Similar to the Pregnant man stance.
Actually, P95Carry must have taught his daughter well. Pretty good isoceles stance, with proper cup-and-saucer grip on the pistol. Time for more pictures, this time of proper tactical reload and failure to stop drills.

Frohickey - I will always take some credit for way my daughter shoots but ...... guess anyways that was partly cos she was started quite young, along with her brother ... but she also I guess learned thru observation ... of me, and my shooting buddies.
Finally, I guess too she has a natural aptitude .. no awkwardness - all that and she shoots so little too. She'd be up there with most of us.
Can you be surprised that I am ever so proud!! I'll indulge by being real boring and post that pic - again! Forgive this ole fart!

Thank you Sir - and I mean that!
Kids....gotta love em. My eldest son turned 18 this year and I asked him what he wanted. Told me he wanted my 700 VS in 308.
Told him I would buy him a brand new rifle.
Nope.
"Dad, you've already done all the load development on yours and besides, it gives me something to both shoot and cherish."
He graduates from Basic at Ft. Sill, Oklahoma November 6th, and has decided to go into the Medical Corps. He now tells me wants to use the military to become a doctor, and would I mind giving up my National Match the day he gets his M.D.?
I don't have to worry about the Liberals confiscating my guns-my kids are doing it over time
Fortunately, I have more guns than kids.......

Delmar, sounds like a pretty good trade-off. He'll love having his father's rifle, and dad will love having a son in the medical field who loves guns. (I wish my dad had liked guns so I could have had his when he was done with them).

Man... your kids are lazy.
Talk about wanting to have their old man do all of the load development and tuning. Do you load their magazines too?

I don't know if my kids are so lazy but they are really getting crafty!
Unlike some parents I know, I haven't had to haul them out of jail-mainly because they knew I'd tell the officer to keep em until they repaid their debt.
I have always been big on putting responsibility on them from an early age, and rewarding where they have done well.
They have been encouraged to participate in team sports, and I have been dragging them to the library since they were in diapers to instill the love of books.
That, and getting them afield to learn about hunting, fishing and talking them into joining the Boy Scouts has really helped to give them an understanding of people and nature.
And, despite my own parenting mistakes, they have made me a proud parent in many areas over the years. I can hardly believe my luck.
I was somewhat surprised they have chosen to serve their country in uniform-the youngest is in high school ROTC and is chomping at the bit to enlist just as soon as he is able. I gave up my right leg many years ago due to my own service, but I never pushed one way or the other. One benefit of being an Eagle Scout is the military will give you a stripe upon enlistment-something I did not know.
There is one good thing about my "guns for kids" program-I get to replace my battery with new stuff
Way to go P95-it seems to be common to put the young folks down these days, and it really warms my heart to see there are young adults who enjoy firearms and handle them responsibly. We all see the ones who are skipping school and chasing the latest fads-the ones we rarely hear about are those putting their shoulders into making a decent life for themselves.
