Title: My Christmas present
Post by: Cooper on December 26, 2010, 01:55:07 AM
Both of my children spent Christmas day with me for the first time in almost two decades.   ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^ ^:)^

My daughter is dating a gentleman with an interest in firearms, and she asked me to introduce her to shooting.
After a few milliseconds of hesitation,   O0 we launched into a one shooter Appleseed today.

I hope there are plenty of Appleseed events for 2011 in the Vancouver/Portland region for my daughter and her beau to be introduced to the Trail.  Today's accelerated Winterseed confirms that she is very eager to learn, having never fired a gun before today.

Figured you folks would appreciate her first Redcoat, with the first 13 rounds she has ever put downrange (in the blowing snow at 25 degrees):

Congratulations to mom and daughter. As the old saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Belated Merry Christmas Cooper.

A 300 yard shooter on her first target. Fantastic!

Now I could make comments about name legacies and all of that and if her name were Lindy, I would need to.

But congratulations. That is a target to be proud of!

No her name isn't Lindy, but she was born a Cooper and as Taylor noted, she didn't fall far from the tree.  She is justly proud of that Redcoat.
