My son's first target
So, I took my son into the woods to teach him how to shoot. He is 9. We were using a Daisy powerline 856 set at 5 pumps shooting BB's. I gave him a five minute safety briefing. Then spent about ten minutes explaining the B.O.S.S. principle and sight picture. Shooting from the prone supported position, he hit high and left within an inch @ 27ft. I adjusted the sight and next shot, deadon bullseye. Just wanted to brag a bit
 *Of course the next half hour or so he was all over the place, but he did real well, staying on paper and keeping his groups fairly tight.

Re: My son's first target
Hitting bullseye is great but spending time with your son is the best part of the day. Enjoy every minute together. Hope to see many more targets.

Re: My son's first target
Thanks guys
I showed your responses to the boy, and he got a kick out of the Tex remark

Re: My son's first target
Nice shooting!
I can't think of a better family activity than target shooting.

Re: My son's first target
Nice............ I have 3 boys. all were interested when younger. as they turned into teenagers the desire faded a bit. they still go with me but they all have their own stuff going on as well.

Re: My son's first target
My son turns 10 near the end of this year. I plan on taking him shooting for the first time this summer. I want to get him a BB gun too, but I fear that my wife will freak out.
