No I dont think your going over board at all, He's looking forward to taking the Hunter safty course. To be honest his new excitement for the erge to hunt has me concerned, Im not sure if he is ready for it. Yet im thrilled to pieces, he's allways (along with his brother )have shown intrest but the actuall 'kill/dyeing' end of it im not really sure he grasps, the consequences of pulling the trigger- as for which gun to strt out with-for turkey-the 20 gauge sounds good. thnks for your input--I do believe that safty above all comes first.

The other area he has informed me he wants to try is Archery. one at a time.
