I showed my wife your daughters pictures in here. My hunting buddy hap has offered to let her use a 20 gauge semi auto to try shooting. Your daughters two pictures you posted has given her some more interest. She grew up on a farm, she was the oldest of 7 kids (3 were triplets) I think the parents kind of got wore out after the triplets, so she took over a lot of responsibility especially with the triplets. She has worked hard her whole life, she really likes walking with me when I hunt, so maybe seeing your daughter hunt will give her that final "nudge" she needs to try shooting at least |

Harold got me to thinking, so I went back to my records to count. 22 Sixteens to date (7 Parkers, the most of any maker). All have been shot, and have taken game. Long live the 16!

Gary, shame we didn't get to know each other when you lived in Ohio. I grew up in Belmont county

Some of my best hunting memories are of chasing grouse in the hills of SE Ohio. Oh, to have those coverts again. I know you feel the same.

Great pic! I've been caught off guard like she was many times -- the gun doesn't quite get up where it should be. Maybe it catches on your clothing in the rush or your just too much in a hurry due to the commotion to mount the gun where it should be. Regardless, you somehow hit the target -- I say it's an exceptional skill!
