Betcha her dad doesn't have to have "the talk" with any prospective boyfriends
This is awesome to see a young lady this dedicated and talented - that's a full-auto carbine and a 12 gauge shotgun!

Is this some kind of competition? How does a 13 year old get these skills? Just taught by family? NRA courses? Please educate someone new to this!!!

It's the fallen brethren 3 gun competition here in the good ol' state of Texas. She has been shooting since she was 5 or 6. For someone who only missed 2 shots, I think she did pretty damn good.

This isn't your standard 3-gun match, though, with a full auto rifle, is it?

If you have never done anything like that, you should take a look at getting started with IDPA and/or USPSA. Both sports started with pistols, which are a lot of fun, but have since grown to include 3-gun matches.

Yep. Check out the rifle at the first of the video.

Wow - Attagirl!
My 12 and 16 year old Granddaughters are good shots with rifle and pistol, but have a way to go to match this incredibly talented girl.

I'm not surprised. Shooting is a skill that depends more on dexterity, vision, and hand-eye coordination than strength.

I caught that, but why is that allowed at this event? I thought the firing of a full auto was highly restricted. I hope that is a special event because, if not, I don't have the right kind of rifle for 3-gun then.
