I always try to warn people what's going to happen but the warnings don't always set in.

My youngest daughter was 16 when her grandfather gave her "her" rifle. He had given each of his two other grandkids a rifle when they turned 12, never could figure out and I didn't ask why he waited so long with this one, I just got her a Rossi 243 to hunt with. Anyway, 16 comes along and he brings her a Winchester 94 XTR in 356. He said it was the only appropriate rifle he had left which value/condition wise it was the equivalent of what he had given the others but recoil, WOW. I have one myself and while recoil never bothers me much, I don't like shooting more than 3 or 4 rounds at a time with it. He told her if she didn't like it she could sell it and get something else. Range day comes along and I sight it in, my future son in law was along and I ask him if he wants to shoot it. Warned him, he never shot a gun until he met my oldest daughter. Boom, scope comes back an wacks him on the eyebrow. He hands it back and says never again. He's a fairly big guy, bigger than me. My youngest watching all this is next and I ask her if she really wants to do it. This kid had an 8 inch group at 50 yards with the Rossi so I wasn't expecting a whole lot. She shoots, no reaction, 1/4 inch off the bullseye. Ask her how she feels, I get the normal "I'M FINE DAD" that teens like to use as a response. Shoots another, 1/4 inch off the bull so not a fluke. She shot three more before deciding it was enough and has carried that rifle and loved it ever since. It's 7 years later and I'm just now getting my son-in-law to consider shooting a high power again. He has limited himself to 5.56 for the most part.
