Congrats to your awesome daughter!!! Hopefully they continue to roll out the red carpet and welcome her on hunts like this! She deserves them
I am curious how the firearm works?
I notice your holding/supporting it for her and she fires it with a straw of some sort?? Genuinely curious how the setup works as I have never seen anything like it before!
Thanks

Thanks I stream the scope view through a Tactacam to a tablet in front of her where she sees all action and makes the decision to fire (the Tactacam is a digital camera and records all of the action and is it's own wireless. I connect if to wireless on tablet and she watches everything that the scope is seeing). She uses a vacuum air actuator to fire; when she sucks on the vacuum tube, the vacuum is changed to an electrical current via a connected 12v battery. The cables go to a trigger mount where an actuator (like mini shock absorber pushes against the trigger). The vacuum is the only way the rifle will fire and is automatic when vacuum is created. When she hear me whisper "good" it means that I am on target, ready for the shot. There may be a delay of 2 to 5 seconds when I whisper good as the wife is helping her with the vacuum tube and safety and the daughter will get "buck fever" sometimes blowing instead of sucking on the tube.

I don't know how it can get any better than that. Congrats to you guys.
It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

You have quite a team there! I love it when kids get excited like that when they hunt. It keeps the tradition alive. I wish more family’s hunted together like your’s does. Well done to all!
