My Lil’ Annie Oakley

 

My daughter the marks{wo}man?

LoLo had her first shooting lesson last weekend.

Don’t all 17 year old girls have a hankering to do this?

Don’t worry, she was with trained {law enforcement} professionals.

The only thing I shot at 17 was glaring looks…these days, I am fairly good at shooting the breeze.

She had so much fun taking these lessons, she really enjoyed it… this could very well be part of her future.

And just to ‘round out’ her day, she had a manicure and pedicure afterwards. 

All righty Annie Oakley with the pretty blue nails, go on with your bad self! 

That’s MY girl.

  1. Way to go LoLo! Larry's daughter was a probation officer before she decided to go on to law school. Like LoLo, she is very petite but a really good shot!

  10. Go Lolo!! I enjoy shooting. Even have 2 guns of my own. A 20 gauge shotgun and a .40 cal handgun. So don't go messin' with me! ;)

  11. Go Girl!!!!!! It's neat that she is beginning to think about a career now... Most kids have no idea what they want to do.. She obviously has GOALS.. That is GREAT. Maybe we'll see her on CSI someday!!!! ha

    Go LoLo... I'm proud of you.
    Hugs,
    Betsy

  12. My son (Alex) has been to the range since before he was 10. Always supervised by my dad. He's takes the responsibility very maturely. He hasn't been in a while... got to get him back out there - but he says he wants to be a sharp-shooter. Maybe SWAT or something?! I am all for it. The kids got talent...

    And so does Lo... Looks like natural talent for her! Great job!
    Don't mess with the LoLo!

  16. That's what I call a well-rounded woman - I love it! She and David have this in common, though his is a bb gun. I wanted him to take those classes, but never prevailed. Tell her I admire her for it, please!

  17. I used to target shoot as a kid--so much fun. I earned the Boy Scout marksman badge because the Girl Scouts didn't have one.

    She looks like she's having a blast.

  18. I freakin' LOVE this!!!! Go, LoLo!

  19. My father taught me how to shoot when I was a teen. I loved going out to target shoot with him. While I enjoyed it, I haven't shot a gun in years.

    Target shooting is great for young women and for young men.

  28. This is awesome! My dad was in the military and taught us to shoot. I loved it, but I haven't done it for a long time. She looks like she is having a great time, and she's a good shot to boot!

  29. Now that is just too funny that she ended it with a mani and pedi.

    I think it's a GREAT skill for her to learn. Dang, she's good!
