Alex shot this 30" bull Oryx this afternoon on an Off-Range Oryx hunt. Since she shot it with a 7mm-.08, that makes it a little girl's gun (she is eight). By the way, that is my three year old in the background with a Daisy pellet rifle that has been rendered inoperable...

Clearly, that's why I had to AI mine, so I could at least call myself a "big girl" when I use it ... (grin)

Great accomplishment for an eight year old!!

How about some more details. What was she shooting? Does she pratice a lot? Load? Where did she aim and hit? How's Dad??

What's next?

I really like the idea of the little guy carrying his red rider. That's a great way to make him feel like he's really part of the hunt.

Good job and be very proud of those two.

If it's tourist season, why can't we shoot them?

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Very cool. I love my 7-08. Prefer it to .308, ironically <g>.

Headed off to go shoot it at long range right now, in fact.


The CENTER will hold.

I was afraid when I saw the thread title this was a new venue for the long running 7-08/.308 "who's a girly man?" thread

That is awesome. Good for both of them.
Did you install a high quality pad on the 7-08?

At 6'4" and 300 pounds (plenty capable of shooting the bang'aroos), I have discovered that the "little girl guns" are easily the most fun to shoot!!! Tell her I said, "Good job kiddo!"
