first range trip for kid #3

Child #3 has been asking when she can go to the range with Daddy...

Much like pierced ears, we wait until it has been asked repeatedly, and they are old enough to understand...

So #3 went for her first trip Saturday. Rebuilt my 10/22 target set up (removed 20" GM heavy barrel and Boyds tacticool stock, and 20x scope) into sporter configuration (factory stock, barrel, red dot sight) and took her out. Had to stop at Wally and get the PINK ear muffs... black wasn't gonna cut it with my princess. Daddy shot the first 20 to get the dot zeroed, then she put about 200 rounds down range. Starting wtih single shots, then 2, then 5, then 10. We were shooting on my local steel range, so nice big 12" targets at 25 yards that would give a nice audio feedback on a hit (they are for CF pistols, so 22lr doesn't knock 'em over).

Now I need to find a not-so-nice birch stock to cut back severely... almost mare's leg like... keep it 27" OAL but shorten the stock as much as I can so it can fit her.
