Its fun to watch the young ones learn to shoot. At the last family gathering i had 7 of them fighting over who was going to shoot the coke cans first.

And how long is it going to be before she gets to hunt a buffalo with 'Uncle Roy'?

My youngest grandchild, 14, has suddenly blossomed into an absolutely beautiful young lady, emphasis on blossomed. I was afraid I'd lost my hunting buddy/tomboy, but luckily, such was not the case. Remember to take her with you, Saeed, on a simple hunt at first. She may become a lifetime partner.

She cannot wait! She keep asking when can she go hunt buffalo!?

The Vincent are going to be here in May. And last year she was driving Alan in the backyard in her gold cart, with him shooting crows, mina birds and green iguanas!

I started granddaughters out with Chipmunk single shot 22's and the deer picture on the deer corn sack.
Now they are all grown up and into all kinds of guns. Taking them all to Africa in 2013

Saeed,
That is definitely a very unique way to play golf,a fine player just like her dad

Another generation started down the road.
Congratulations.

Congratulations Saeed, she'll make a fine shot!
The buffalo had better watch out!

Thanks for sharing, she's growing up so fast.

Have you picked a rifle/caliber combination for her yet?

Looks like she will be able to shoot their eyes out!!! I just purchased a Pink Cricket with the Cricket scope for my Granddaughter's third B-Day. I can't wait to get her out to the range!!!

Awesome Saeed, beats the heck out of video games. The boys and I spent many an afternoon in the back yard shooting old toy/model cars and bags of those cheap "enemy" plastic figures with the pellet gun. So much more fun than paper.

Your daughter is a cutie!

That video was more fun than a par golf game.
Wonderful young lady.
Papa has done very well.
What is her favorite "term of endearment" for her father?
Is it "Pop" like the sound her gun makes?
Soon she will be packing a .375 up the mountain.

Nothing beats being able to share one's passion with one's kids.

Congrats Saeed, keep her interest there.

Saeed,

That is such a great video! She really is having fun and is also a great shot!

I have not been on the site for quite awhile, but I do remember Hessa being born within a month of my first son Jack (10.25.2002). Can't believe fast these kids grow. So glad to see you guys having such fun together.

I love to spend time with my kids and really hope to be like Bill C (safaris with his boys) when my kids get a few years older.

Best,

Tim

Saeed,

Fantastic video! It brought a smile to my face! I love seeing that as my first child(daughter) is due to be born in a week.

Thank you VERY much for posting that

Drummond

She is a good shot!
Nothing is better than shooting and hunting together with the kids.
Thanks for sharing Saeed.

Tim,

Hessa is one month older than your son. She wasborn on September 25,and your sonon October 25.

Hessa brings some ofher schoolfriends to shoot, and they love it.

Saeed,

I am very happy to hear this, would be even happier if I could see the video

Warm regards

Saeed

I am not sure why some of you are having diffulty with the video!

Try right click and then save it to your computer.

You might also need to download VLC

VLC Media Player

It is a free media player which plays practically any video format.

She did not miss a single shot!And she has a great smile.

I gave my 8yo Grandson a Henry lever action youth model for Christmas. A logical follow on to his Daisy Red Ryder. I wanted him to continue using open sights. The other day, we went to the farm for some shooting. I had a .22 rimfire upper on the Aim Point equiped AR. So much for the Henry At 15 yards, he could tear up the clay birds on the dirt pile.

Congrats Saeed... you should be proud! A chip off the block!

Great stuff saeed. When are you taking her onsafari?

My youger boy is a month older than Hessa and he shoots a slug gun but is not keen on hunting at all. My older boy who will be 13 shortly is very keen on hunting and shoots the 222 Rem and the 7mm 08. He has shot a feral goat and wants me to take him deer hunting. My oldest girl who is 16 also loves shooting and hunting. She can group 5 shots from a 22 rim fire in 2" at 50 meters.

Thats great. I have to do the same with my daughters shooting glasses. We call it her stink eye when see trys to close one eye.

These posts are the reasons that I frequent this site. Your daughter is a fineshot, you must be a good teacher.

Good stuff.

I watched that final before I found this site or even started shooting, it was a nail-biter!

Great video Saeed, you've certainly taught Hessa to handle a rifle.

My little brother has just turned 14 and I'm teaching him to shoot this Easter holiday.

I can't wait, he's going to be my hunting partner.

AsI sit here in the middle of the night unable to sleep this sure puts a smile on my face. Saeed your a lucky man.

Your in big trouble now Saeed....you better start build her trophy room now...hahaha

Well done my friend!
It is great thing to raise up and have children (and grand-children) who by our example learn to love and follow in our foot steps shooting and hunting. Kudos to you!

Awesome Saeed! The apple has not fallen far from the tree!!

Cheers
Chris

I am bummed I cant get the link to work.

Saeed, It is hard to believe it will be 10 years in Sept. Seems like just yesterday. I remember being at Bokpoort with our good friends Christo and family, Peter Harris, Drom, Peter Kriel and the late "Uncle" Dave Tennent. Everyone was excited when word came in the day she was born. We all had a toast to you and yours. In fact we had several toasts. We didnt really need an excuse at that point except good friends but it was a good one. It always amazes me how fast they grow and the years fly by. Enjoy your blessing and count every moment precious as you have been given the greatest gift of all my friend.
