Introduced a couple boys to shooting today.
« on: February 19, 2005, 01:27:53 PM »
I'm proud to say I think I created 2 more shooters today. 9 and 10 year old brothers. they had a blast shooting a handful of 22s but they were scared of the shotguns. Even after my wife demonstrated that even a girl could shoot a 410. They enjoyed watching me shoot the 20,12 and the 10ga. they collected the empties like they were gold.

I'd much rather be remembered for being a great shot than having the most expensive gun

Way to go Markus. Years ago when I was a cub scout den leader, we would set up a pellet rifle range behind the house and let the boys shoot. They all loved it. I found that it was especially great for kids who might not have been real athletic. All of them could enjoy some degree of success, and it gave us a chance to talk about and demonstrate gun safety. Keep up the good work.
