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):
Quite nice! :)
Congratulations to mom and daughter. As the old saying goes, the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. Belated Merry Christmas Cooper.
Taylor and Dicey
Sounds like the best Christmas present of all!
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!
Mike
Nice!!

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.
