Here she is with her instructor at the shooting gallery.  Dad wouldn't shoot after her because he didn't want her to make a fool of him.

She also got to meet Eddie Eagle and learn about gun safety.  From the Eddie Eagle page here is a program description.

"The purpose of the Eddie Eagle Program isn't to teach whether guns are good or bad, but rather to promote the protection and safety of children.

Eddie Eagle neither offers nor asks for any value judgment concerning firearms. Like swimming pools, electrical outlets, matchbooks and household poisons, they're treated simply as a fact of everyday life. With firearms found in about half of all American households, it's a stance that makes sense."

Erin was asked to draw the winner of the big NRA Foundation Raffle.

She was delighted with all the attention, of course, but the best was yet to come!  A week later there was a HUGE box waiting for her after school.  It had a really nice letter from the NRA Foundation thanking her and a whole bunch of Eddie Eagle stuff.  There was even a picture signed by Eddie himself!!
