Big guns and 13 yr olds? This was not the first deer my 13 yr old daughter shot, but her first w/a 7mm REM. Mag. I had 2 of my daughters out hunting w/youth guns, 243 and 7mm-08. My 13 yr old wanted to go out and sit in a field but no gun. My friend got his deer that morning so I asked if he would sit w/her and use his 7mm mag.win. mod. 70. I asked her if she wanted to shoot his gun. She asked, " does it kick." I didn't lie to her and said yes, but you know when you shoot a deer you won't feel it go off." She said yes. She dumped a 3 point buck at 300 yds. My buddy was very impressed with her shot. (wish I was with her.) But I was sitting w/my newest young hunter daughter. I tell all my girls that you won't feel the kick when you shoot a deer. All 5 of my daughters first deer kill, tell me first thing that they didn't feel the gun go off. ;)

 :yeah:

my wife always says she doesnt feel the kick when shooting an animal. .
"Right now, I am thinking that If my grandmother was here, she would be lecturing me about how there are poor people in Africa, that would just love to have a Ruger, I would just say "Great, granny, lets just ship all the Rugers to Africa!"


Loving life in the Great Northwest one day at a time.

It sounds like it's time to get a new gun.
