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.
