Took my Granddaughter shooting
« on: November 28, 2010, 10:08:17 PM »
I went hunting at my cousin's place in east Texas this weekend, and my wife and granddaughter came along. Since my oldest  granddaughter had only shot BB guns, I told her she could shoot a 22 rifle of her choice after the hunting was done. She chose the Henry Golden Boy, so that's what we took along for her. After 100 rounds she decided she wanted to shoot my pistol, so I let her give it a try. That 10 year old prefers the 45Colt. She's already asked to go with me to the range to put more shots downrange with the Vaquero. We may have another shooter in the making.

About as good as gold, CJ.
"I expect perdition, I always have. I keep this building at my back, and several guns handy, in case perdition arrives in a form that's susceptible to bullets. I expect it will come in the disease form, though. I'm susceptible to diseases, and you can't shoot a damned disease." ~ Judge Roy Bean, Streets of Laredo

For the Patriots of this country, the Constitution is second only to the Bible for most. For those who love this country, but do not share my personal beliefs, it is their Bible. To them nothing comes before the Constitution of these United States of America. For this we are all labeled potential terrorists. ~ Dean Garrison

Very cool.

Well done. :)
Here’s to the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. The troublemakers. The round pegs in the square holes. The ones who see things differently. They’re not fond of rules. And they have no respect for the status quo. You can praise them, disagree with them, quote them, disbelieve them, glorify or vilify them. The only thing you can’t do is ignore them

Absolutely fantastic.  My own grandsons are both under two, so I've got a wait to get some memories as fine as these.
“I’ve lived the literal meaning of the ‘land of the free’ and ‘home of the brave.’ It’s not corny for me. I feel it in my heart. I feel it in my chest. Even at a ball game, when someone talks during the anthem or doesn’t take off his hat, it pisses me off. I’m not one to be quiet about it, either.”  Chris Kyle

Dear Santa:
I've been really, really good this year! Grandad said to always buy American. I heard Ruger was a good company too.  Can I Pleeeeeeease get a cowboy hat and a colt .45, just like Mr. Halloway? I promise I won't shoot my eye out. Honest. ;D
