So for multiple reasons I’ve never tried to get my daughter into shooting (mainly my wife disagreeing but that’s an entire thread to itself). Things have finally worked out and I’ve been teaching her some basics, turns out she’s better than me!
I started her off with my .177 marauder field target, it’s extra easy to shoot well and I wanted to give her confidence before doing anything else. Within 3 mags of 10 she was shooting a perfect 10 group at 10 yards. Moved her out to 30 yards and she was grouping about 2 inches consistently! So I upped the difficulty and had her try hitting my spinners (1 inch at 30 yards) and she hit 9 out of 10!
so I upped the difficulty again and had her try my Fwb124 . I thought the springer would be tough so again started her at 10 yards.....she did better than I did. 30 yards, same story. Spinners, 7 out of 10 ! This girls a natural
these are both 10 shot groups
10 yards with the fwb
30 yards fwb
look at that smile

(that’s said “double A’s” as in Winchester AA shotgun shells for those that might not know what I’m referring to) that’s because I’m an enthusiastic sporting clay shooter and upland game bird hunter as well. my wife who is Chinese and came to the states several years ago will shot with me on a rare occasion. Shooting is only a thing of curiosity for her because where she grew up no one owns or shoots guns. She has no real passion for it. I think she’s still in a little awe that so many people here do own guns and such. But she’s very tolerant of my hobbies... ahmm, illnesses, cough cough. Every now and again she’ll make the mistake and ask me a question about my airguns or shotguns and I’ll go off on a tangent. I’ll finally stop when I realize she’s just starring at me with this blank expression and lost look in her eyes and I can hear the thought going through her mind “I married a mad man” 
then she’ll roll her eyes and say “ ugh, whatever. I don’t know about those things”. That might read meaner than it is. She’s just teasing me when she says that. I tease her back though when she goes on about some woman thing. I’ll try and imitate her and roll my eyes and say “I don’t know about those things”. She’ll try and pretend to be mad at me for making fun of her but she can only laugh
