223 Handi makes history
« on: November 30, 2008, 06:17:06 AM »
My 11 daughter killed her first whitetail deer this week with a 223 Handi that belongs to my dad. We were hunting on my dads ranch in South Texas so that made it special and my wife and dad were able to watch the hunt through binoculars from 300 yards away. My daughter shot the 8pt buck in the shoulder and dropped him in his tracks. She was really excited and I have a hunter for life. Now she wants her own Handi Rifle.

 Great deal. Tell her good job from us. Looks like you will be adding a new rifle to the collection.
