Today the weather finally got warm enough to take my 6 year old grandson out shootin. This was his first time ever shooting a 'real' gun. Never shot anything else. Not even a BB gun. Took him out with my Savage .22. Showed him on paper how to align the sights. Then I pulled an orange out of my pocket and set it on a 2x4 about 10 yds away and showed him what it would do. Showed him how dangerous a gun is.
He had a blast. Chec out his target. Shot at about 25'. Looks like I will be buying him a Cricket tomorrow.

That is pretty good shooting for that young man. He did well and it is a good thing you showed him how dangerous a rifle really is. Nothing sticks in one's mind more then actually seeing something destroyed, vs telling them. Nice going there Grandpa. Looks like you have a new shooting partner.

good shooting for that young man nice to see someone taking the time to show him the right way of shooting and safety

Fun times for sure. Ya done good Bronko.

Good job grandpa... the .22 is the way to teach them on... my 9 yr old is shooting the.50 cal knight wolverine now lol...Ray

Excellent. My son's first was a Henry Mini-Bolt. It's an accurate little bugger.

Good work, bronco. I commend you for teaching your Grandson. Looks like he will be a shooter!!

"Showed him on paper" Way to go.I taught my grandson to shoot at an early age,also.My wife asked why I was drawing pictures.My reply-That is the way the Marines teach it.They have been known to turn out some fairly good shooters.By the way,he is 19 now and an excellent shot.
