Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Handguns Some may enjoy these pics..

Very good Mackey...you have a right to be proud! Great choice

Mac;

As a fellow Dad who spends FAR too much time away from his little girl (same age as yours), I'm cryin'.

You made the right call. You already knew that.

And, she's a wonder. You knew that, too.

My thanks for you sharing those pics, and that insight, goes deeper than you know, though you can likely guess.

When I finally meet you, I've just another couple reasons now to shake your hand and say "thanks".

From one dad to another....ya done good, real good!

Outstanding! Both you and your lovely daughter.

Awesome my friend...

Men,

When I read the responses and the strength behind them, at first I was surprised a bit. Quite obviously I knew that my perspectives were a bit different than many men, for various reasons.

After a bit of contemplation however, I am not. It is one of the reasons I enjoy this section of the fire. Aside from the wide array of knowledge that is available to gleam off of, there is a strong moral fiber here, for the most part.

Using Kevin as an example, talking about selling off his guns to fund guns more appropriate for his kids to play with, is a perfect example.

We do have some jackassery that floats to the surface from time to time, but overall we have some.. this is where I struggled for a few minutes... just plain good men... here in this section.

The strength of character is obvious.

Thank you.

I get a kick out of a little girl being methodical about loading and unloading a .45!

These belong to her coach, a gal I rodeoed with years ago in college (the first time I went, talk about a small world).

I have a feeling I am going to have to "pony up" for a pair of own her pretty soon. I think next season she will need her own.

For some reason I was expecting this...

Great pictures.

That buckle is almost as large as that little beauty's smile!
You've got a great little partner there.

Kudos to you! You are not just a father you are a DAD! That pic of your daughter riding with the flag instilled another burst of patriotism in me!

Thanks for posting

I wish either one of my parents would have taken a simple interest in me.

Thats pretty cool, you're a great dad!

Outstanding! Congratulations to all involved.

I do have a question. What exactly is WSSA? I do some SASS, Cowboy Fast Draw, and Wild Bunch shooting but am not familiar with WSSA.

mickey i had a daughter once at the same rspective age. We use to go dove/quail hunting together. Today she is a middle aged woman, but can still plug a shotshell casing at about 15yards with a sig p6
Got another girl type in the family that was prescott frontier days rodeo queen a few years ago. Lot of the old women i know today had roots exactly in the same type of behavior.
One of the reasons i knew i had a good woman in my wife was that kind of stuff with her father when she was young trying to make a go of a farm in s.e. colorado. Ain't easy work sometimes, but it does as you say build character.

WSSA is western states shooting association. CMSA is cowboy mounted shooting association.

In my daughters age group, she has to ride and shoot seperately. The adults ride and shoot at the same time.

Thanks.

It is pretty fun to watch, as there are some rather impressive riders. Many of those who compete grew up riding, working on family ranches, farms, etc, and it shows. Good family fun. Nice atmosphere. Very friendly group of people.

Tuckered out little cowgirl..

Oh great.

That�s all we need is another generation learning the reasonability of using firearms and the leadership skills of dealing with 1100 lbs animals that need care very day.

What the heck don�t they have video games in Idaho???

Nice job Daddy, Maybe the world will be OK after all.

She sure has a head start.

What an awesome little girl.
You can be justifiably proud of her. There's just one thing I have to ask you to do..... Buy her a coke and yourself a shot of good whiskey from me.

I have two 13 year old boys who I've started in CAS and I know the pride you feel when they are doing so well.
Congratulations to you both.
