Start them young, teach them right!!!!
« on: December 25, 2007, 03:38:34 PM »
I call this little Tender (BABY TENDER). The little gal holding this tender is Ashie Bug, my granddaughter. At 3 years old she is already a gun lovin nut. Loves going to the woods for what she calls woods walking with Poppy. I took a Sportier thumbhole stock from Gunstocks Inc and cut it back and moved the cheek rest forward, shortened and shaped the forearm. The barrel is a 17" tapered 17MACH2 from FRO. topped with a red dot sight. I have had this barrel for two years now and it has never been fired. When she turns 4 I will begin her training in shooting. This is her barrel and Tender and she will be the first to shoot it. I am already teaching her slowly about gun safety.

Looks like a nice setup. If more people would start their kids into shooting like you have it would be a great place.
The sportsman lives his life vicariously. For he secretly yearns to have lived before, in a simpler time. A time when his love for the land, water, fish and wildlife would be more than just part of his life. It would be his state of mind
