New Guns for the Girls.....

The weather here has been just awesome! To nice to stay inside. The last several weekends Adam has been home, he has taken the girls out on the quad to do some shooting and rabbit hunting. Most of his guns are just to big for the girls to handle, so we decided to get them each one their own!! Nothing too fancy, just a bb gun. One that they can get the fundamentals down with.

Before they could handle their new "weapons" they first had to have a conversation with dad about safety. Cause "nothing we do is worth getting injured over"!!!

After the briefing it was time to get to it!! If you're gonna learn to shoot, you gotta have a target...

Nothing like a pampers box, with a self-adhesive target smacked to the side of it!! Thanks Clint for your box!

Ok...yes the barrel is pointing straight at her face, however these things are hard to caulk, and the safety was on....

While Clint didn't get his own gun, he did get to sit in the dirt for the first time and cheer on his big sisters at the range!!! Ok, we were in the back yard!!

Of course he had to put the dirt in his mouth...

And have a man to man chat with dad about gun safety....

I don't know if I should be pleased to report this or not...but as of last night, Lexi has killed her first bird. While we don't encouage this type of behavior, the temptation of it sitting on the top rail of the fence was too much!! And who would've thought she would get it!! Nice shot Lex!!
