Just had one of the best days because my 6 year old daughter and I spent about two hours shooting for the first time. I was so proud of her, all I had to do was show her how to hold the SS the right wat wat and how to grip the pouch and off she went. Her first shot she hit the target and was so excited she was grinning from ear to ear. It felt so good to share that moment with my daughter, so here you go check out some pics of our day!!


Her first shot ever !!

Nice shooting!

She's better at shooting than you mate

Also that's a cute little slingshot is it even pink?!

You gotta tell your daughter to quit chewing the ammo ... it seems to be hard on her teeth!!!

Seriously, she looks to be doing very well indeed ... that looks like a very cute shooter you made for her, and you must have the bands adjusted just right for her to be shooting that well.

And I am delighted to see that she is wearing glasses when she shoots!

That is a great thing to share with your kid. I am sure she will remember these activities with a great deal of pleasure as she grows older.

Cheers ..... Charles

Thannks Charles, ill tell her that the ammo is not gum (just kidding), she did do very well at shooting, I hope she sticks with it, I pretty sure she will as she was very excited to shoot with me. I wish I could have gotten in the picture too, thanks again!!

That's great! I shot with my 6-year-old son a bit today, too. He prefers archery, for now.
That is a great design for kids! Probably going to have to copy that one.

Thanks M_J, it is a great design because its easy to hold with little hands, if you make one let me know how it turns out

[M_J]

Yep, easy to hold and hard to hold wrong. Plus my kid will like the idea of a "gun slingshot".

M_J, I got that design from a gallery post that I cant seem to remeber the name of the person, I drew it out from one of the pictures he had in his gallery, Im at work right now so I dont have the outline that I drew, When I get it i cant send you the outline of it. If anyone out there recognizes this design can you let me know, thanks

[Taco]

Love her slingshot, LOVE her hat, and I really love that she had a good time shooting with you. She'll best you in design, shooting, and overall obsession in about a week.
