Brittney's first muzzleloader

[longfowler]

Last christmas I built a small muzzleloader for my Great-Niece, Brittney. We finally got a chance to try it out today, and here are the photos. She was a little scared at first, only taking 3 shots. I wanted to keep the session short anyways, taking into account the attention span of a 4-year-old girl. I think she had enough fun to try it again!

one cool sidenote...about 6 years ago, I took her dad, shown helping her in photo #4, hunting deer in nearby in Newfane, Vermont. He missed a deer with this same gun barrel when it was mounted on another stock - a few moments later, his fiance (now wife) & Britt's mom, shot that deer!

Outstanding pictures! I think her pink and white rest is absolutely the greatest. Everything about that whole shoot is great. Now don't go and make her cross... :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I thoroughly enjoyed taking these pictures of our Great-Niece (the apple of my eye, I might add). She was a bit skeptical at first, but when I told her that Aunt Kim (me) had shot the day before, she was ready to go. It was a bit too loud for her so she didn't want to do it a second time. But when Uncle Jean (longfowler) and Daddy put a smaller charge in there, and it wasn't so loud, she was ready to do it again. She took 3 shots total, and I think she'll be ready again soon. We'll be bringing her to the Primitive Biathlons before you know it. She's got a little brother that will be following in her footsteps, too. :thumbsup:
