Default Daughter schores in first shooting match


In addition to putting monster redfish in the boat, my daughter is progressing well in her shooting skills.

My younger daughter shot in her first match last Sat, the long range precision rifle match at Colorado Rifle Club, where hitting prairie dog sized targets at 200-500m scores 10 and missing scores zero. In her first match ever, she fished fourth overall, and the first place lady, and the first place junior. In addition her score of 360/480 was the highest score ever posted by a junior in this match at the Colorado Rifle Club.

Also, if you get Precision Shooting Magazine, look for her upcoming article on whether bullets go to sleep.

She's shooting her elk rifle, a 6.5x284 with a 140 grain AMAX at 2850 fps.
