Re: Grand-daughter - first time shotgunner
That's a dead bird right there.
I took a buddy of mine from work to shoot skeet, after one round (25 shells) he was acting as if he was crippled. Of course he was shooting a pump 12, but still it was same thing I was shooting. I am wanting to get a good auto 20 to play with, maybe a Remington 1100 or Mossberg SA-20.

Good job on the camera there, Gramps. Well done, Young Lady.

Hold on. Hold on just a dern minute. Andy's a grandpa?
Sounds great Andy. For the sake of my daughter, can you give me an age and size comparison to your grand daughter? I'm curious about how mine might handle the recoil from a 20ga. Mine, you met, is 11y, almost 100lbs, and pretty strong for her age.

I know......kinda took me by surprise too, but I think that I knew he had a granddaughter. I've just never seen her before. And by the look at the back of her head, I still ain't seen her.

Good on you, Andy and good on the granddaughter too!!!
She seems to be a fine shot. That's just gotta be your handiwork.

I totally forgot EF has some for rent. We'll have to try that next time if she wants to.

If that's the youngster I met down that the river, that grouping doesn't surprise me.
