She's 12 and the Light of my life: One shot, 145 yards, using my Rem 700 223 Varment. Same rifle I carried as a sniper rifle before I retired. Using 55 grn mil. ball, quick kill with very little damage. She also cleaned and skinned it all by her self.

Outstanding! Great to see young women joining the ranks of hunters! And it sounds like she's a great shot, too.
