With all that is news and frustration with our Bronco journey, I thought it might be nice to change it up a bit and turn our ficus to our families. Yeah, proud dad moment coming...


Here is a pic of my daughter while getting a bit of a pep talk and coaching between rounds at her first-ever trap shooting competition today, May 8th, in Livermore, CA at the Grand West Grand trap competition. I cannot express in words just how amazing her coach and team have been to get Amelia to this point. She is also acting as the squad leader for her flight. Some stats to consider…
She is 10 years old,
She has been shooting for only a few months,
She is competing with a Browning BT-99, 12-gauge, 34-inch barrel shotgun,
She will shoot 200 shells today, exceeding her previous best of 125 shells in a day,
She will be completely exhausted by the end of this,
She has two parents who are over the moon proud of her,
She shoots like a girl!! (Some of you may understand exactly what this means. For those of you who do not, it is possibly one of the highest compliments that can be given to someone in our circle of friends.)

It's just a car, but it's always a family.

LOVE IT!!! Totally awesome! Kind of a standing joke/complement that I get from our closest GT friends - all of which have MUCH more money that me... is that I am the "richest" person they know. I agree.... and I think you are pretty damn rich too!

That’s cool to see. My daughter shot on her trap team in school and did quite well. She shoots a Beretta 391 12ga and gets mad when people assume she shoots a 20ga since she’s a girl.
She also does quite well long range with rifles and handles most pistols adequately. Loves to hunt.

Keep up the good work. It’s obvious she has awesome parents too.

My 10 year old shooting a mossberg pump 410 with a fixed full choke. She hit 4/6 in between her brothers scout troup getting their shotgunning badge. She needs to eat a whole lot of wheaties to catch up to your daughter.

Congrats! Impressed she is shooting the 12! I started shooting skeet competivily when I was about the same age. Started with a 20 gauge Winchester 1100 then switched to a tubed over-under, but was about 12 years old before I actually shot the 12 gauge in competition. Competed in .410, 28, 20, 12 and doubles.

Well, it wouldn't be complete without a follow-up as to how the day went! I will let these two pictures answer this.
