Proud of my lil girl while reloading

[MudBugjr]

Was in my man spot reloading some .45. My 7 year old daughter came over and was watching me. Not making a sound while I'm at the bench. Then she started telling me the next step after I charged the loads. So i let her put the rounds on the press I positioned the bullet and let her seat them. Man that was some great father daughter time. she stayed with me for all 50 rds. On my single stage press. Alil slow but man so worth it.

Sorry for the mushy story.

Nice. Thanks for sharing...

Ah, mushy father-daughter stories are great. Being a single-father of a wonderful 10-year-old daughter, I've had a few similar stories to share.

Congrats!

[MudBugjr]

Thanks I have 2 others . Just funny that my smallest is the curious one. The only way i can get my 17 year old boy to shoot is his golf clubs. Not complaining looks like he's getting a full ride to college with them.

Good Story. If this was a common event in families we all would not be thinking as much about carrying for self defense. Keep it up and continue to raise her like this. Teach her gun safety also.

I had the same problem with my son while he was in high school. During college he came back around to shooting sports but congrats to your son on the free ride.

Thanks. My 12 year old daughter and 7 year old are wanting to start learning. looking at starting with the .22. after the how to's.

My 13yr old daughter is wanting to learn to shoot competive trap or skeet.

I've got two daughters and it's wierd what they end up wanting to get into. One likes fishing, the other would rather read. It's awesome when you get to discover what the're into, all you have to do is support and give them a hug.

The bond between a Father and Daughter. It's a beooooootiful thing.

My 3 year old always wants to help me clean the guns. She also gets a kick out of shooting an old BB gun, and a .22 my dad had cut down for me when I was 5.

awesome story. thanks for sharing.

Time well spent I'm sure! I know I enjoy family time as well.

[gregintenn]

Those are the things she'll look back on and remember about you...not what you bought her or how much time you spent at work. Keep up the good work. I wish there were more responsible fathers around.

Get's ya all warm and fuzzy, doesn't it? My 8 year old son reloads his own ammo, with close supervision from Dad, of course. I can't wait until my 6 month old daughter gets to the point where she can hang out in the gun room with the old man as well. Funny thing is that my son, who is all boy and wouldn't dare be associated with girly stuff normally, has helped me look for pink rifles (CZ makes a nice little 452 in pink, by the way) for his baby sister.

My lil one has the most liberal guidance counsler. She hates guns and lets the kids know it. I told mine she could tell her that she was reloading big bullets at home with me, during class today. So if I'm not here tomorrow the liberal crowd might have hauled me off for being a bad parent.

[Guest blackbeltchick]

Awesome story! I loved the times I spent with my Dad, those are treasured and never forgotten!

[Bad_Bowtie]

Man I cant wait till my lil boy gets old enough to help.
