My daughter asked daddy if he would take her shooting
Now THAT's a date! I took my daughter shooting last July and then again earlier this year. We had a blast, pun intended. She's ready to go again, any time. I started her off with a Colt New Frontier single action .22, moved to a Ruger Mark II, then a Walther PK 380 and finished with a M60. She does her "happy dance" when she's done! Enjoy and please tell us how it goes.
Blessings,
Phil

We will take the Henry lever .22 with a 4x Bushnell:
Here is the link to the Henry:

A nice rifle made just outside New York City. Cost about $200 brand new about ten years ago.
Knocks the little metal targets over at 25 yards and provides great satisfaction at a low cost.

It will be a fun time for you and your daughter. My son, his stepson and I go to the gun club just about every Sunday afternoon and shoot pistols. Larry

I had the honor of meeting a mother - daughter pair at the range last year. The daughter shoots a .22 Henry and is a good shot. That's a fine way to introduce anyone to shooting, IMHO!

.22LR is a lot of fun and easy on the pocketbook, shoulder and ear!

Have her home by ten young man!
Seriously, have fun. My daughter flew the coup a year ago.
We haven't been shooing since because she's busy with life.
I think I need to ask her for a date.
OP
I did not mention that this will be our first shooting date.

My daughter started shooting with me---now she claims all of my guns are hers.
Be careful out there----they are slick.

Just found this post. Very cool. Buy ammo. Have her shoot whatever you've got that she wants to shoot. Make it a family affair. My daughters grew up shooting my rifles and handguns. Today they are grown and gone. Last time they got to come home, I asked, "What do ya'll want to do?" The immediate reply was, "Eat Mama's chicken and dumplings and go shooting!" Their mother saw to the chicken and dumplings. I saw to the shooting. Very cool.

I have only two things to say:
1. You are lucky to be able to afford one.
2. You are lucky to live in a state that allows you to have one.
If I got to fire one again I would be doing a happy dance too.

Daughters are precious, but I was referring to the M60. I wish I had an M60, but it is good that I don't. It wouldn't take long for me to be broke.
I'm pretty sure he meant Model 60 not m60 as in beltfed
machinegun.
BTW Bushmaster, How old is the daughter you're taking shooting?
I got a grandaughter who is 7 wanting Papaw to take
her shooting with me. I've got some .22's to take when
i think she's ready for the responsibility.

Small edit.
No better shooting than shooting with family.
I know that is what you meant.

I had in my mind an M60 machinegun. There ain't nothing better than taking a novice to the range for some firearms training and finishing it off with shooting a machinegun for the first time, especially a belt fed machinegun. I have let a number of people try a machinegun at the range, and every time they have a smile so big it must hurt their face.
