I really like the green one. I would cary it daily. ;D
 
That hornet looks pretty sweet also. Hope you and the grandson get many years of enjoyment together.

Ain't being a Grandpa a Hoot!!! I get to go hunting with my 14 YOA grandson, other two small yet. Enjoy, John.
It's not what you do, but how you do what you do, that counts.
Just keep on keeping on!

It sure is.  The best day I've had all year was taking the twins shooting...  I look forward to them being old enough to go hunting.

If I ever have a grandson he will be a gun owner the day he is born. That is his birth right.
