Shes my hero

My 9yo really earned this one. She has been studying up on deer anatomy and has showed awesome discipline behind the trigger.

After sitting patently behind the rifle on a red at 95 yards for over 5 minutes while busting to go toilet :D it walked off without presenting a clean shot. She was stoked just to have watched the deer. Shortly after she was rewarded when we snuck up on a mob and she pulled off a perfect shot at 130 yards with the little red dot. @Wingman I believe this is one of your creations. Goes well thanks @Tommy for the loan. Big thanks to @Pongo12 for being the generous bloke he is!

That's a feeling that just can't get any better, watching your kids be successful like that. Wicked.

Yeah mate what a buzz!

Well done!!
Bloody awesome - For both.

What a great dad you are!

My cousin shot a couple of pigs when she was nine - thirty years ago. Fast forward to last year and her own ten year old son announces boastfully that he is going pig hunting with a school friend and the friends father. He just about collapsed deflated when his mum replied that she had actually shot a couple of pigs when she was nine and produced a photo to prove it.
We cant foretell the future, but perhaps this story will have a sequel in thirty years Gibo ?

A little cuttie. Well done

Mate that is fantastic. Anyone can pull a trigger but teaching your young one the discipline of waiting for the right shot is where you (and her) have really succeeded.

Good work best dad moment out there just had mine this year absolute best feeling out there

Good stuff mate!
If she gets the bug give me a yell and I'll make a shorter LOP stock for her and a cheek rest.. she clearly gets better use out of it than @Tommy :thumbsup:

Yeah im thinking adjustable may be the go, fit them as they grow

I hope that your daughter enjoys cooking and can enjoy the satisfaction and pride from cooking some meals from her own deer for the family, perhaps a little young yet but a nice thought for the future

She is a full meat eater and enjoys helping in the kitchen ;)

Well done. It's great if the kids share your interest.
What's the rifle/chassis setup? Looks light.

I will let @Wingman explain it:D i think there is a thread in here with details

Happy hunting from Otago

What sort of hunting do you do I do mostly trophy hunting but I do a bit of meat hunting last year went on a tahr hunt up in Hopkins valley shot a nice 13 3/4" bull and shot 6 nannies with 4 friends and a few red deer kicking around shot 8 reds and 2 other bulls not including mine but it was November so stags were off the list for now at least oh well cheers Gibo nice messaging you or whatever you like to call this. happy life, happy hunting Gibo.

Im a bush hobbit at heart, cut my teeth in the shitty ass Kaimai's but when a good bugger offers some meat hunting I'm all in, and made it easier for the young one to learn the basics :thumbsup: Cheers mate

Excellent stuff, what a team. Out teaching your daughter great life skills Gibo, keep it up.

Fantastic! My 8 year old is keen. My wife and daughter wouldn't be without one of these in the bush. Makes the busting bit easier:

My son says he doesn't need one because he has his heewee [emoji1787]

Identify your target beyond all doubt because you never miss (right?) and I'll be missed.
