[QUOTE="david3544, post: 187707, member: 5210"] I have a 14 year old who has gone through a series of 4 guns in his progression up the gun ladder. He started about the same age as your daughter and I started him off with a 223. Although small for whitetail, he killed 3 his first year and none ran more than 30 yards. Never missed until his next year when he got cocky and wanted a 243 (model 7). He might have been extra recoil sensitive, but I should have made him shoot the 223 one more year. Range time with a little trigger coaching with the 223 would be my suggestion. Don't want to intimidate her from the start. I assume you will be with her during the hunts and most of the "close" shots will be called by you anyway. My two cents. [/QUOTE]
