coles Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I started this little deal with my youngest brother a few years ago. We always take all the dyed easter eggs that my mom and grandma will give us and have fun blastin them with all of our guns. Well this year my parents and youngest brother and little sister were in Louisiana over easter but we still shot eggs! After lunch at my grandparents, i took my 3 little girl cousins out to shoot some eggs. I think this was one of the very few times they have ever gotten to shoot guns. We set up all the eggs and they took turns bustin eggs! They even let me shoot a few and were just plumb amazed when i threw a couple in the air and shot them with my 22! So here are the pics! Me with the girls, L-R, Hannah (12 yrs), me, Sophie(8 or 9), and Maggie(7yrs). Teaching Maggie the basics. I wish i wouldnt have forgotten my little single shot marlin 915 for them. My 22s were too big. Hannah's turn All the "targets" set up on the root cellar Hannah again "Dead" one Helpin Sophie out Some flying eggs Sophie Blastin away! Sophie with a dead one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You know you are their favorite cousin now, for sure! HB You mean Hannah, the tall one? Im 6'3". She is just turned 12 about a month ago and look how tall she is! She just passed hunter's safety along with my little sister i posted about a few weeks ago. Her dad has hunted but not into it at all like the rest of us in the family are. Im sure she will be bugging me to take her out which is fine with me if i can get away from school and work. She has alot of practicing to do before i would feel comfortable letting her shoot at a deer! But i guess thats what im here for, Right?

coles Posted April 10, 2010 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2010 Great pictures, in that one picture u can see the bullet coming out of the barrel!! thats great! I have these pics up on facebook and one of my friends said the same thing. but i dont think it is a bullet. i think its just something on the ground that is almost perfectly lined up with the barrel. Good eye though! I was wondering if someone would see that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
