I have been blessed with three lovely daughters
This is how I know god has a sense of humor
My oldest who shot the most and would even come to a shoot on occasion is off in college so I have to contend with my 9 and 11 year old
They have both been shooting since about 4 or 5 and are both decent shots
Seems with their busy schedules the 11 year old plays Basketball for the 5th and 6th plus a club team , volleyball and track and field

The 9 year old who plays 3 rd grade basketball, track and field
also won districts in the 100 and 400

Point is they are busy and I am having trouble getting them to shoot so.....................I have resorted to bribery
We have been swamped with snow so I get home fairly late
If they are done their homework I coax them to a few rounds of shooting for dollars
I can shoot out to 15 yards in my basement garage
I'll lay 4 ones on my bench and tack another up on a block target
They shoot at ten and I shoot at 13 yds
And yes some nights they are beating me
By the end of the night I get most my money back but its good fun and the couple bucks I loose here and there is well spent
The time with my kids before they grow up so quickly and my much needed form practice is well worth the price of admission
So if any of you dads are looking for some shooting buddies don't over look bribery
