Well I'm tickled pink when my daughter outdoes me at the range.

She definitely shoots better than I do offhand with the Henrys. I tend to do a little better than her with most of the handguns, but not by much.

I think I would need several decks and likely still never be able to split a card :(
Try it sometime. You might just surprise yourself. BTW only one card will do but you might need plenty of ammo. ;)

Don't know how you see the edge of a card at any distance! Would love to have all that wide open space to shoot though!
I doubt if I could find it, but I watched video of one Tom Knapp shooting a .22lr and hitting an aspirin that he threw in the air.
If I throw an aspirin in the air, I can't see it.
I have no clue how ANYONE could do such a thing.

While I can appreciate Kirsten's shooting prowess I personally don't care for a couple of her displays that are unconventional with one being highly unsafe - her shooting with her hands tied behind her back!
Also her shooting while positioned in contorted yoga positions is not appealing to me - at least the shooting part is not - but as someone previously mentioned it's obvious she likes the camera and well, you get the idea....

Got a chance to talk to Tom Knapp a few years back. Really nice guy having a good time. Watched him do all that stuff live. Incredible.
He died too damn young.

I don't have an issue with her shooting or videos. It's all just for fun and meant to be entertaining. Good on her.
