Re: Hunting Photos
Well done! Makes me look forward even more to my youngest daughter’s first hunt in 2019. She will also be 15 then. She has been my lucky charm when walking with me when I’m hunting and seems to have the right temperament for it.
How much shooting practice did you undertake with the girls before they were ready if I may ask?

Re: Hunting Photos
I can't recall TBH. It started with a pellet gun. Lost count of the number of pellets after the first box, of many. When the groupings were acceptable, we upgraded to the .22 LR. Bricks of .22 LR were shot out. Once those groupings were acceptable and consistent, we went on our first mini hunt. The rule was/is, what was shot, had to be cleaned, prepared and consumed.
We then moved onto the rifle in the picture. I'd guess both have shot about a 120 rounds with it so far. Both manage a sub 1" grouping at a 100m at present. The 16-year-old generally does better but the younger one performed the best on the day.
None of the three trips had luxury accommodation.

Re: Hunting Photos
I have a 7x57mm without silencer. I want to buy one of the 6mm calibers with silencer before the next hunting season. Hunting with silencer certainly makes sense. Just another reason for me to get a move on with new rifle. Would prefer to keep the old BSA in original condition.

Re: Hunting Photos
Thanks the back story was very entertaining and also food for thought. We all pay school fees in some way or another. Glad the girls continued to hunt after the first “unsuccessfull” session. My eldest is not interested at all, but the youngest makes up for enthusiasm and a good hunting instinct.

Re: Hunting Photos
a Family member had a few hectares of Mielies and a few with Sunflowers. So we went to protect that from the (insert varint of) pigeons. They each shot one and I assisted them with the first cut for cleaning. The second time (same trip) they did it themselves. They reckoned it tasted like KFC without all the oil.

Re: Hunting Photos
My daughter performing like a champ. The Ram was moving about the whole time and she patiently waited for it to stop before taking a well-aimed shot.
The farm staff reckoned it is 23 and 5/8 horns. I'll do a proper measurement later to confirm. I suspect it was a tad shorter.
I'm hoping Max sees the picture. I only saw the barrel touching afterwards. I think he'll "love it"
hahaha
