Day at the range

[Fivestring63]

I took my 8 & 9 yo's to the range at Gunny's the other day. Yea, I saw the worker with a bandage on his hand, but didn't ask.

I usually just been letting them shoot .22 rifles and pistols but this time I figured it was time we stepped it up a notch.

After a LOT of convincing they both shot my S&W 9c and also a bushmaster AR-15. They were both very scared to shoot these.

After a few boxes of each, we had other people watching us amazed at the accuracy they had. Now they can't get enough. I actually had to go back and get a few more boxes.

Watching my youngest shoot the Bushmaster in a text book kneeling position was priceless. Just a proud parent watching his boys grow up.

That's great! I'm a big advocate of teaching our youngsters at an early age the great hobby of shooting sports, and to teach them to respect firearms. The earlier they start, the more reasponsible and safe they'll be as they get older.

Can't wait til my son get's old enough to start shooting. I got a few years to wait though.
