First Time Out With My Son

[belly47 61]

when I decided yesterday evening to pop out with the rifle for an hour or so my 7 year old son asked if he could come with me, it was the first time he had asked so of course I said yes.

 

now I didn't expect to shoot anything with the lad in tow as trying to get him to sit still for more than a minute or so is nearly impossible.

 

so we walked around a couple of large fields and didn't really see much at all but it was good to hear my lad saying how nice and peaceful it was and that he liked the sounds of the birds singing.

 

with no luck on the first permission we headed off to a small holding where I thought we may get a shot and I managed to get him to sit still long enough to shoot one at a touch over 90 yards with the hmr.

 

our first rabbit together, we were both delighted and when the land owner appeared and took my son away to see the lambs she has had to hand rear it completed a lovely evening.

 

on the way home in the car my boy said "dad, that was awesome, what an adventure"

 

an evening I'll never forget that's for sure
