Gubs-Princess at the range

I didn't see a new gub thread today, so I though I'd start one. My 16 year old daughter, enlightener of the universe, and repository of all correct facts (if you have a 16 yo you'll understand), out of the blue said she wanted to go to the rifle range. So we went. Mostly she fired her brother's 10/22 but also fired a bit of military highpower 7.5 X 55. It was way fun and it turns out she could handle the rifles safely, and shoot pretty well. The target is a 50 foot pistol target, but we were shooting at 25 yards.

So, post a pic of your kids with gubs, or you with a gub if you are still a kid yourself.

i'm a bit confused, that this comes as a suprise to you, that the fruit of your loom can handle a weapon.

Hmm, I'm not familiar with a 7.5 x 55 . . . . My Swedish Mausers fire a 6.5 x 55mm cartridge. Is that the one? Anyway, good to see you showed the a good time.

Update: I just googled and learned something. The 7.5x55mm Swiss cartridge. Any day you learn something about gubs is a good day.

No kidding. Now she's a rifle expert, too. Haha!
