DIY range buddy

It's awesome to have friends to shoot with, but it's even better to create your own.

My 9 yr old grandson clearly favors head shots. Even at only 50 ft, I think he's doing pretty good for his age, especially with open sights. If he keeps this up, he'll be my 1st round draft pick in the zombie apocalypse draft. He shot a mix of offhand and with a rest. My dad was a hunter, so he taught me to use a rest whenever you can. I think that's solid advice for hunting, but I want my grandson to be more well-rounded. 

This is his favorite firearm, a Rossi Bravo lever action .22lr that we bought from a forum member last year. He might actually love shooting even more than me, LOL. We really enjoy the TWRA range, SRHEC, on Percy Priest lake. I think next time I'll see how he handles 50 yards with and without a scope.

He's looking tough! Give him a high five for me.

See now I wanted to shoot that lever action as well!!!

He reluctantly let me have a turn with it. I see why he likes it. We had a red dot on it, but we both hated it. This rifle has really really good open sights.
