Armed and trained


My kids are troopers. Seriously, I'm preparing them for a very long and safe life if I can help it.
Seriously it's been a goal of ours to raise our kids to enjoy shooting and to beable to properly protect themselves. They are great girls. Both are left eye dominate but only one is an actual leftie. So they make it pretty interesting to set them up. But we work at it. But good lord, since we moved to Montana shit is getting real up in this muther. Holy crap. So seems that we have landed in the middle of the wild ole west.
Not only did both girls get custom shotguns for their Christmas presents (which they LOVED) they also got color coordinated accessories (such a thoughtful daddy) but we have started actual training. Sundays find Princess only at small bore rifle training, she is preparing for a competitive team. She leaves there and has 30 minutes before they both go to their competitive BB Gun meetings/practice. Then they have that again Tuesday night while I go to the opposite side of town for ladies night at the gun range. Small town Montana living has a shit ton of options if your fun involves weapons. :) Which obviously we do.....
Our life is good. Simple. But good. And frankly, I'll take that any day of the week. Oh and for the naysayers, my babies also take weekly piano lessons, Prin has begun weekly softball practices even though they are inside here since they don't actually play any games until May, and Duchess is working on dance lessons..... they do have some typically girlie crap going on. ;)
