I totally agree with "contender". I teach a "youth & family gun safety and marksmanship" course at our local gun club, and the most important and basic fundamental of shooting is the grip and stance. After that, everything else comes easy. Youngsters, especially the girls, often outshoot their parents simply because they have no bad habits to break and very little ego driven issues to overcome.
Remember, shooting sports are a bond that can hold a family together when all seems to be going to hell in a handbasket. keep it up, and by all means, make that her gun. Engraving her name in the grips is an awesome way to make it final.
