223 will do the job especially if you stick to around the 100 yds, plenty of time for the 308 as her confidence builds.

Yup I know, shot my first deer with the same 55gn sp factory ammo at 200y a fat fallow doe it certainly didn't get back up

Great stuff my daughter shot her first and only deer with the .223, it had to be a lone deer cause that meant it had no friends.

Great stuff, i really enjoy getting my kids out to the range and teaching them about firearms safety and how to shoot. They are capable of far more than we think they are too.

My 8 year old is hitting a 3 inch bull at 400 yards with a downloaded 6.5 creed. So cool seeing them listen to and apply what we teach them and their smiles when they can see we are proud of them.

Very cool

Look out deer,well done Dan n Miss.

I think in a Christmas or two you might need to find a 243 to hide under the tree haha

Plenty of choice here for her already

Well done Danny, and well done to your daughter. I find kids and woman are so much fun to teach and take hunting/shooting. They listen, they take it all on board, they shoot well. And theres no bloody testosterone thing going on that is prevalent in teens nowadays. Keep it up, look forward to more pic's.

Wee update agter todays range session with little miss 12....
Decided today to only shoot steel no targets but this time let ber do everything load the rounds into the mag, load the mag into the rifle, put the bolt in, find the gong and get comfortable resting behind the rifle.
Well even though the 100y gong is only 4" she smoked it easily and after a little bit of struggling worked out cycling the bolt on her own.
At this point I laid down a challenge 10 hits on the 230y gong from 10 shots and I'd take her out for morning tea, same as the 100y gong I let her get set up and aquire the target 10" gong and she set about methodically sending lead down range and to my and her suprise she nailed it 10 outta 10 shots, inspection showed 10 fresh hits 8 all within 5" just above center and 2 low but still well within 8" she's a little trooper all right if only she was big enough to carry deers
Seeing as we were on a roll I asked her if she wanted to try the 308win to my surprise she accepted and smoked the 100y gong with it. She was a little uncomfortable shooting it off the bench but she's keen to try again next time prone off the bipod.
She just keeps suprising me with each range visit at how much she retains and improves over last visit

I should add her reward was choc filled crossiant gonna have to find a harder challenge for her

good stuff mate...now you listen up Dad..... young ladies DONT NEED to carry said deers,that what dear old Dads are for...and later on hulking young suiters....if they wont carry out her deer for her....yeah nah piss off hairy legs,will find a more suitable fella to share life with.
you get young lass to carry the day bag and the bang sticks..you get to carry big heavy,smelly bloody bits....and shoot fallow...MUCH lighter to carry .
if lass is 60 kgs soaking wet.....a smaller fallow or goat would be dead easy carry using carry belt method. you would be surprised how much young lasses can carry.my daughter put on my venison filled pack and walked around,her brother and uncle COMBINED couldnt lift it out of wagon....

What a great Dad!

I bet with @dannyb genetics running through her blood she's taller than me already
