[QUOTE="pburton, post: 1897973, member: 48978"] I have two kids. My daughter is 23 and my son is 17. My daughter was never interested in shooting or hunting when she was young. My son on the other hand, wanted to start shooting at a very young age. At 5 I got him a BB gun. At 7 he was shoot one of my .22's. At 10 I bought him a .17hmr, which he still loves to this day. At 11 I bought him a .243 and a .410. Currently he shoots a 6.5 CM and his new 6.5 PRC. About two years ago my daughter decided that she wanted to start shooting. Probably because her boyfriend and his family are really into hunting. She is left handed and left eye dominant and at that time I did not like the factory left handed rifles that were available. So I had a rifle built for her and she now loves it. She has been shooting this rifle for a couple of years and just this year got her hunting license and put in for tags for the first time. It really makes me happy to see my kids now enjoying what I have enjoyed since I was 5 years old.[ATTACH]192574[/ATTACH][ATTACH]192575[/ATTACH][ATTACH]192576[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
