Daughter Smokes the Old Man

[BDann]

My teenage daughter has been shooting quite a bit lately, especially after all the archery in the movies.  

She tells me the other day that she'd like to try to shoot a turkey while we are up in Kansas over Thanksgiving, which I'm thrilled with.  All my kids like to shoot, but there hasn't been much interest in hunting yet.  

Anyway, I told her that she needed to be pretty proficient in order to hunt, so she starts buckling down on the practice.  I came out to watch her, and she decides to show off her rapidly improving skills.  She placed a .5 liter plastic bottle, end on, between the ears of a fox target and proceeds to tell me that whoever hits it first wins.  So we stroll out to about 20 yards, and before I could even get an arrow knocked she absolutely drilled it!  

I'll never hear the end of it now, and it will be even worse if she gets a turkey before I do!

That is probably the coolest way to be embarrassed by your family

Ahhh, the treachery of youth !!! Got a teenage son who has been whoooping up on me for years. I can beat him every now and then here in the backyard, but not very often. Sure is fun though to get under his skin even if it is only for a short time.....

How's it get any better than that?
Well, it probably can as that sounds like just the start of things to come.
You're a lucky man.
