She is cute as a button and appears well trained. I do though get a little queasy when I see kids and guns turned into a game. So much depends on the particular kid and how seriously he or she believes in the rules set down. The danger is when they get together with friends. That peer pressure can lead to dangerous things. the rule for me would be no guns ever without a responsible adult present.

She appears to take it very seriously so in her case I'm sure its professional, but I agree with Franco in most cases with kids that age (I don't like turning it into a video game for them).grumpy wrote:She’s ‘Armed & Fabulous’: Meet 13-Yr-Old Shooting Star Katelyn Francis

Note: the weapons she's using (This is not some lil' 410 kids toy... this 13 Year Old is handling weapons that would bruise most men)
She was trained well, but yeah, I remember a story where the parents took there kid to the range for some shooting fun, they were Ok with there kid and all they thought him. Then the young boy turned to ask mom a question, let a round go and shot his mother in the head, yeah she died.. sad, stuff happens. Double edge sward..
I bet this young girl would out perform most.. You don't see that very much. Safety was drilled into her so I don't think you will see a sad story here..
