I've told this story before but it's worth repeating. One of the best things to ever happen to me was a friend emigrating and giving me a old .22 Brno Mod1 1947. In 2016 my daughter came along on a hunt the first time. Decided after she wants to shoot an animal the next year. Well, I bought a brick of 500 S&B .22 ammo, and she sat at the range for quite a few weekends, starting at 25m, ending at 100m, shooting round after round. After that, I made her shoot about 100 x 130gr Impala's through the 3006 (only other rifle I had at the time). The weekend before her hunt, we bought one of those animal targets, I told her where I want her to aim, and gave her the exact round she was going to shoot (150gr Sako Hammerhead). She placed 3 rounds in the vitals to my satisfaction. The next weekend outside Kroonstad she shot a Blesbok at 112m perfectly in the engine room. She was 10 years old at the time. Two years later in 2019 we had the 6.5 CM, and she shot a Springbok ram in the neck at just over a 100m. I love that old .22 for the fundamentals it has taught her.
