This 8-year-old Competitive Shooter could Teach Adults a thing or two
Am Shooting Journal ^ | 4/14/2017 | J Huffman

This is parenting done right. We applaud those folks who get their kids involved in all things outdoors, whether it be fishing, hunting, or shooting sports. For eight-year-old Addy, a junior competitive shooter in rim fire pistol iron sights, it's obvious she got an early start and was taught all of the correct habits to be ingrained in the muscle memory.

The following clip highlights some impressive skills, including the ability to follow commands, awareness of safety, excellent body positioning and accurate shooting. Watch how composed she is for an 8 yr old, here

If her school ever sees this video, they will call child protective services.

I’m a C-class USPSA shooter, and I know an 11-year old girl who is two classes above me. She us awesome. Coached by grandfather, who is a former Grand Master.
