TRIGGER CONTROL!!!
That’s right. Lil’ Ebbs is back and this time ON HER OWN!!! Now hopefully it won’t be that long before she replaces me altogether. She’s sure to be much more popular (and better looking) than her old man. 
It’s been roughly 15 months since she appeared in the Crickett .22 Youth Rifle review as an almost 5 year old. Today she was practicing with her Thompson Center Hot Shot .22 rifle and helping me with the review when she decided she wanted to give it a shot all by herself.
So, with the other cameras rolling I pulled out the iPhone and let her rip with just a little coaching beforehand. The video below is completely unedited and straight from my phone. I really hope you can sense her excitement while shooting. I literally had to pry it out of her hands and agree to let her shoot the AK Krink pistol before she’d let me take it!
What about you? What’s one of your favorite guns to start young shooters on?
Shooting should be fun… right?
Her form has really improved in the past several months. I attribute it in part to the pistol grip stock on the TC. The trigger is much easier for her to reach and keep proper trigger discipline.
Proud of her shot. She absolutely tattered a 5″ Shoot-N-C target at 30 feet!

Great job Little Ebbs! Eric, that was too cool – she is probably better shot than me. Great to see the whole family is involved in HoG, awesome stuff!
Dude she’s seriously gonna take this joint over. She got to start 5 years earlier in life than I did.
Awesome man! Got her on the right track for sure.
You should also check out the new Savage Rascal. A lot of improvements from the Cricket and it has the accutrigger! My 6 year old loves it
. Oh, and it comes in pink too 
Her Crickett is already pink, LOL. She said this time she wanted a “tougher” gun.
Man, they must have really lightened up the spring on the trigger guard/barrel release over what the Contender used to have, or that is one strong little girl. When I was 13 and my old man got his Contender, I remember having to really yank hard on it to get it to open.
You’ve done a great job of teaching her firearms safety, as evidenced by her outstanding trigger discipline.
But, according to the gun grabbers, you are committing child abuse by letting her do something she obviously enjoys.
OMG this was so cute. And what a great job she did!
Awesome job little Ebb’s ! I think she’s gonna give Daddy a run for his money. Pretty impressive girl you have. First thing I noticed was her trigger finger. She’s got a great teacher !!
