CHRISTMAS

Christmas morning~she was not wanting to pose for the camera~!

She was so excited~she got what she asked for! FYI~only the stocking at our house is from Santa, everything else is from us. She got her little cricket rifle, gun case and bullets to go with it.

We had to wait a couple of days due to the weather to take her and let her shoot it. Let me just say we are proud of her. She wasn't all over the place, it will just take her some time to get used to the sights. I will say this is a nice little beginner gun. Very lightweight, no kick and easy for her to handle. I don't think I started on a gun like that!

She was having so much fun!! Of course we took our 22, my pistol and several shotguns to shoot. Hubby even pulled out the skeet thrower and we did that as well. It has been awhile since we have shot skeet. We all had a great time.

Hope everyone had a great and blessed Christmas and hope and pray that your New Year will be filled with many blessings.

Oh my goodness! It IS pink!!
Ok, now i want one.
I was just out trying my "fixed" 22 rifle. Not fixed. Clip falls out after one shot. Ugh. But then I found my little BB pistol, and we had big discussion on teaching our little one how to shoot.
Looks like you're right on target (lol, no pun intended) I think it's super important to teach them young.
Will say prayers for your mare, I hear ya on that. Always tough to have a good horse go in for surgery. Fingers crossed it goes well!

O my goodness, she really looks like she is a pro! I haven't done any shooting for a long time and really miss it! I used to be able to outshoot Hubby but those days are probably over! haha!

What fun for her! Every good cowgirl needs to know how to handle a gun!!

Shooting skeet is a fav past time around here . . . we don't get to do it much either!

Glad your Christmas was Merry!

It is great to see parents teaching their children how to properly and safely use a gun! :)
