I figured 2 kids at a time is sufficient to work with so I took the two younger ones out to get a feel for shooting . They have exactly 4 weeks from today til deer season for them starts. I just wanted to see if they could geton paper without to heavy of a charge so that they started flinching. So i started them with 50 gr 777 250 gr shockwave standard black sabot. They will be hunting with Bloodlines but those haven't arrived yet.
Anyway they are only shooting 50 yards, I figure if I can't get them that close to a deer something is wrong. I thought I had a photo of Susanna's target but I guess not. Her group was about like her brothers only 6 inches higher. I didn't do any scope adjustment yet. Micahs was pretty right on right out of the box. They only took 3 shots each because it was so hot out and I just wanted them to have fun. I think with a month to go and a few more practice sessions they should be good to go. As long as they are minute of deer that ok for me.
Susanna will be 10 in 4 days and Micah is 11.
Oh yeah, that will work. I can't wait til my grandson (s) are old enough to hunt. INRecord - What do you meaan shortly? Looks like they already are!

Good job Chet,those kids are the future of our sport and many other things. my 9 yr old shoots the youth model wolverine, basically the same rifle as the little horn.65 gr pyrodex and a .250 gr gold dot..Ray
nice shooting there ... and good luck this season.

it is definately nice to get kids out like that......unfortunately my son, did not get my genes......his mother was a anti-hunter from day one (thought i could change her after 4 years it was divorce time) well you know, not the whole reason but did play into it. So, when it comes to hunting he has her believes. No matter what i have tried, we just do not see eye to eye. so, now that he is 19 i have given up and moved on to my nephew.
Took him out last year, first year and he sat with me. we had a doe and several fawns come in and he lined up his sights and took long enough i thought they were going to bale. he finally shot the doe and she fell. and several more jumped in from the other side. he said what do i do now? I told him to keep shooting if he wanted (he was using a shotgun and where we hunt, he is allowed 8 doe) He shot five times and did get three..... I was a proud uncle and you couldn't wipe the smile off of his face for a month..... It is a great feeling to help a yougster get hooked on hunting..... he is definately hooked and we go to the lake property he is never in the house, soon as we get there he is grabbing a pole, his supply bag and he is gone....So, he has already told me, he is going to take a bigger buck than me this year..... i am worried he will, and he will never let me live it down.
