I was all prepared to spend more and buy a clipfed rifle, but then I though, hell, she’ll just want something else to grow into. So hurt me hurt me; I’ll have to buy her another rifle someday. Boo Hoo.

I’m so tickled I could giggle.

My good friend Jenny says of my training the daughter to shoot: “She’ll grow up self assured and not dependent on anyone else for anything”. I’m grinning so hard my face hurts.
