Using a Tikka T3 chambered in 6mm Remington. The stock was cut down to fit her scrawny little frame. ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/AR%20M4%20SPRs%20and%20such/7434E63F-5161-41F8-A6D8-A203B255098E_zps04tmeaaq.jpg) At a distance of 197 yards, she put it exactly where I told her to. Needles to say, me and her grandpa were more than a little proud.  ![[Linked Image]](http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b109/IV_Troop/D32689F5-12D4-49FE-9DDE-1BB4D2D9182D_zps4au27tgq.jpg)

Thanks SLM.
she is super excited about the upcoming December's cow elk hunt. All three of us drew tags, so it will be a 3 generation hunt. She's been practicing with the six mm, and is pretty consistent out to 3 hundred yards on a pretty small steel ipsc plate.
Fingers are crossed!

Congrats to you both! Sounds like she is putting in her time on the shooting practice.
My oldest daughter has only been hunting a few years herself and we did manage to pull a 3-generation hunt like you mentioned, with Kate, my father, and myself all taking deer and posing for a photo.
Good luck to you guys!
Now with even more aplomb

That is excellent and you are rightfully proud! I have to wait two more years before my son is allowed to hunt (10 years old) and the wait is killing me!

Good job to you and your daughter. Looks like some excellent table fare and great memories. I have 6 more years of waiting until my little girl is old enough, I don't want to wish away these years for nothing though. Keep up the good work.

That was a good shot, congrats to all involved.

Im sure you were all proud at that one! You'll get to see more pride on her face every time 'her' deer is served at the family dinner table.
Cool beans!

 As you well know, there is primal satisfaction in putting meat on the table. Literally. Good on you for raising kids that way....
