I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

My oldest Shelby took her first buck Friday afternoon - and started out with a bang. I was right beside her. Deer came out nosing a doe and I told her "We're gonna shoot this deer honey. Don't worry about his rack - just put those crosshairs behind his shoulder and squeeze that trigger." One shot right in the heart and he didn't go 10 yards. 160 yards. A memory neither of us will ever forget. Special thanks to jeffbird for the excellent marksmanship training he gave her last fall. His patience and training gave her all the confidence she needed to make the shot when it counted.
Congratulations!  She was a wonderful student, a wonderful lady, and easy to teach. Guess the 200 yard practice paid off. She can shoot. This is the last day of practice, two rounds of ammo left in the box. Taped this to a 200 yard target. Conditions were windy, but she hit with both of the last two shots. Her future husband better not argue with her.

Life is Grand. Your a lucky man with 2 beautiful daughters that are great shooters. Great to see family activities and memories. They will never forget the experience.

Thank you guys. Here's "little" sister all grown up. She is 18 now. Shelby is 21. Both in college. I miss them so. 
I learned long ago you can't reason someone out of something they don't reason themselves into.

Wow, a couple of pretty, young ladies you've raised, Nog. Congratulations in more ways than one. Their smiles tell the tale. Great buck, BTW.
Life is too short, as is. Don't chance it.

EK I am indeed blessed - but the Good Lord and their Momma deserve the lion's share of the credit when it comes to these girls. I mostly just get to enjoy being their Daddy. It is the best job I have ever had. Those of you with kids know exactly what I am talking about - as I can tell from all the "kid" threads. They are always my favorite threads.
