The Lad Finally Asked

[kanny 21,657]

So me and the lad were at a loose end today so I asked him what he wanted to do? With him showing no interest upto now he's 12 I was happily surprised when he said let's go shooting!

 

 

I wanted to make it fun for him so we looked around the net and printed some targets off of his choice.. loaded the truck and went to a perm

 

 

After giving him a quick safety talk I set the targets up at 25yrd and let him get on with it and he quickly got a eye for it.

 

 

 

Before no time 500 pellets and 2 refills it was time to go so we ended on a 40yrd shoot off 12 each.. He did well for his first day shooting and by the end of the day talking about having his own rifle...We will see how it goes

Looks like the lad has started to group well, hope he keeps it up

he was spot on at 25yrd with nice tight groups his 40yrd needs some work but Rome wasn't built in a day ..he's a quick learner I don't see there being any problems as long as he wants it which he seems to now .. I did try with him a couple of years ago but he wasn't ready ...difference is this time He wants to give it go rather than me wanting him to give it a go.

 

Thanks everyone for your comments
