I thought I'd move this out of the realm of motivation posters into a thread of it's own.
A local young lady, whom my wife taught in lower and middle school is the reigning SASS Jr Girls champion.
Slick's Sharp Shooter.
As featured in the Wyoming Tribune Eagle Paper

A sophomore in HS now. She will be breaking SASS records and hearts. I've shot with her and her grandpa in IPSC.

Here's video of her shooting.
GUYS! GUYS! Just a friendly word of warning. Her grandpa can be an ornery cuss when riled. Her coach and mentor is "the" Randi Rodgers. And I've been known to hit what I'm aiming at. So any snide/improper remarks, you're toast, between grandpa, Randi and myself.

As the father of an only daughter, I too have your back Alf...
Snide remarks are discouraged....

I am a father of an only daughter myself, and I'm there with you. Now, if you're talking about Jessie Harrison (sigh), that's a different story.

Yes, but she's a grown woman.....who can shoot the nads off a gnat at fifty paces...
;D

She's to young for snide remarks.
But, darn, sometimes (very rarely) I wish I was about 30 years younger. ;D

I know... Met her at the NRA show. Even better in person.

Always great to see the next generation of shooters male or female, excel in a worthy endeavor. Somehow, it also carries other attributes worthy in life.
Like thinking on your feet.
Thinking outside of the box.
The ol' hand/eye thingy.
Being more mature than your age.
Being responsible, safe, and level headed. (Even if Grampa is ornery). ::)
Aspiring to become better in all aspects of their lives.
And generally, 99% of the time, not being a BHO supporter. :P
Good for her. I wish her continued success.
There, no "improper" remarks,..... I have my life size Jessie "Jasmine Jessie" Abbate poster anyway..... ;)
Better on the big screen HDTV in the corner...........off I go,.... :-*

If I was 30 years younger (and single) I might qualify for a date with this beautiful child's mom.
sheesh... by a wistful Crusader

Reason for posting is that I am proud of Slick's Sharp Shooter. Even though she's not my child, I'm pretty proud of this local girl, with whom we had some minor connection. I'd hope others would post similar stories.

Unfortunately, my kiddo hasn't taken an interest in shooting. However she began following in her old mans boot prints about 5 years ago and hasn't looked back.

Little turd has now won 4 climbing competitions at 11 years old. BTW, there was no junior division.
Awfully proud of her.
