My daughter the AR expert This kind of amuses me and makes me more than a little proud. My wife and daughter went to a family Christmas Party last night while I got ready for shift work. My daughter spent most of the party talking to her uncles about shooting and guns. While she is a young teen she has been shooting for years (mostly .22's until this year) and just started shooting M4's this winter. Her uncle in law enforcement also has an M4 and she shocked him by discussing laquer on Russian ammo, not shooting 5.56 in a .223 chamber and Magpul mags. I really think she knows more than he does. Not bad for a kid. Those are pretty obscure topics for most shooters and she held her own pretty good for someone with only 3 range trips under her belt with an AR.

Re: My daughter the AR expert Awesome - a girl that enjoys guns and shooting should be right on par with a boy. I'm the same way - extra proud of the boy stuff my little girl can do - but they have equal potential at these activities. Start them early. I have one of each (5.0 g, 6.5 b) and they will be gun people (no choice in this house)....they both have Daisy Buck BB guns.....these are a smaller than typical BB gun with a bright fiber optic bead on the front.....cost about $22 at Walmart.....desipte being smaller than typical....I still had to cut a few inches off the stock in the miter saw to fit 5 yr old kids. They can shoulder the gun....but the grip is still too large so they use the cocking lever loop as a grip - they stick their thumb in the back of the loop and trugger finger in the trigger guard.....it turns the loop into a kind-o pistol grip for their little hands. I suggest all parents start their kids out as early as possible on things like this. I let my 6 yo boy shoot the 12 GA and Deer Rifle and 44 Mag Pistol all the time.....I just have to hold the weapon and let him pull the trigger----he also holds on near my hands. He loves the power. I also let him rapid fire the Ruger 10-22 - he thinks that is pretty fun. We shot up water jugs with red colored water this summer - he can see just how powerful the guns are - and this makes an impression.

Let's see her try that in Parris Island mode: 100 degree heat, sweaty oily hands, no sleep for 24 hours, bugs biting and 3 drill instructors screaming at the top of their lungs.

Re: My daughter the AR expert bugs biting= Sand Flees can't see em, but their teeth are 5 miles long. Our Drill Instructors would park us right in the middle of swarms of them, or make us do Hello Dollys on fire ant hills.

Oh yeah. They PT-ed us in fire ants. And during "Mess & Maintainance Week", a walk-in freezer.

Re: My daughter the AR expert Grass Week, the new Gunny decided that he wanted to see if we could make it rain in one of those little "rubber rooms" next to the quarter deck, out at weapons battalion barracks... It did. Rough time Boot Camp, but I wouldn't trade it for anything. The lessons I learned there, and in the fleet will see me through any nastiness that comes down the pipe. You can prep your food, house, and metals to your hearts content, to survive, but to thrive rather than survive requires a prepped mind.

That's a good idea but she's only 14. When the time is right I will pay for her to get her CCW and she will have her own little gun collection. I plan on her being able to educate all of her little anti gun peers in college too.
