"what will have to find its new forever home !"

I can identify with that. Some would refer to it as a "hoarding issue"

Today was the day my daughter took her first shots. She's five. That's a pink Savage Rascal.

Total fashion statement there. Pink rifle, ear muffs and shoes.
Train her well dad, so when the boys get too frisky.....

LOL!
Mine started about that age. Sadly, nobody made the pint sized "kid" rifles back then.
My kids started with a Ruger "Single Six" w/9" bbl. From there, I moved them to a Ruger Mark IV w/bull bbl.
Guess it did alright! They both became LEO's! The oldest got tired of the constant LEO confrontation and is now a "pipeline operator"!

As my kids grew and began asking questions about guns, I would literally drag out whatever they asked about. They were allowed to touch, hold and operate, without ammo of course, every gun I possessed.
They never picked up guns out of curiosity. They KNEW how they worked and what they would do.
An aluminum drink can full of water and shot point blank with, "It will do the same thing to you!" can make quite an impression!

It never gets better than this! Well done

Started my daughter (and her brothers) at about that age too. She's almost 17 now, a state champion cheerleader, National Honors Society, etc… WAY better than her old-man, that's for sure.

Happens fast my friend… enjoy it.

2025…

My two boys (the one on the binoc, and daughter pictured above are twins)… shooting eggs at 100 yards with the pink Savage .22.

A new journey begins, with God's greatest gift to you, cherish this moments and remember it is about her, don't forget the fishing and the camping, even if camping is just in the back yard.

Truer words were never spoken! My kids are in their 30's now and it feels like what you are doing now, I was doing last week! We did a lot, but I cannot express how I wish we'd have done even more!!! I am green with envy.

In my household/culture, parenting never stops. I enjoy every moment of it. Treasure all the time you spend with her, and enjoy your blessings.
