She appears to be pretty new at the video stuff, but a quick learner!... (watch all three videos. )
Not bad for a 17 year old!

She has good trigger discipline but it's almost too good. She keeps her finger alongside the trigger guard until ready to fire but then she seems to pull the trigger as soon as her finger gets inside the guard, almost like she's slapping it. I like the flinch in the second .500 Jefferey round where she almost reaches in the guard but not quite and gives a cute little "ohhh!"
Pretty good with the .458 WM, though, seeing as those targets are about 800 yards away based on time of flight.
Gunnery, gunnery, gunnery. Hit the target, all else is twaddle!
She has another video showing her shooting a .470 Nitro Double Rifle off of shooting sticks. She definitely needs some coaching on trigger control, but she has the recoil control down pat. No whining or sniveling about the recoil, either.
How would you have liked to have been, as a 17 year old, invited to five weeks in Africa to start training as a PH? She has a number of other videos on YouTube with her firing a .577-450 Martini Henry and some other vintage military rifles and some handguns.
Obviously English is a second language and, obviously, she is nervous in front of the camera.
I have to give her credit, she seems to have her head on straight and her priorities in order. It's good to see young people interested in shooting, reloading, and hunting.

LOL, smart chicken, that girl is long and lean with good bone structure, she'll make some young man a fine wife someday, got her head on straight too, bet she's a four pointer..
Congrats to her grit bucking the load from big bore rifles too.
i fell into a bargain 742 rem woodsmaster, fired 10 times, because the owner, a combustion engineer wasn't allowed to bring the gun into south africa on assignment. the rules, don't ya know. south africa burns a lot of coal to light up the night.

LOL, akin to me buying a 20" barreled 460 WBY Mag from a kid walking around the Tulsa Gun Show with his other arm in a sling, NO CHIT!
Guess they didn't notice the built in Pendelton Brake when they were running that hacksaw.

Hell Ed, at 17 I would have been satisfied just to have been invited over to her house for dinner............
That, in and of itself, could be quite an adventure!
