Thread: Kids first target shoot

So shortly after I brought home a new H&R single shot .223 my kids quickly adopted the rifle as "their gun". (God knows what they have told their teachers!)

In any case I said we would go out sometime soon and shoot some targets. This resulted in hearing the same line everyday last week "Oh Daddy I can't wait to go shooting at poppas". So last weekend we made it happen. The kids kicked into gear after I explained we needed a couple of targets to shoot at. Using their own ideas this is what they came up with:





I set them up at 25 yards and using some Sub-sonic .223 rounds I gave them there first shots. (After I checked everything with one shot first)
Kids got all safety geared, glasses and earmuffs (Spot the townie kids, earmuffs on backwards )


Jess (7) was first and she got into position.


I think she missed the first shot and the second shot (with a bit of extra steadying from Daddys hand) hit a bulls eye!


So Brady had a crack and got on target also


Next was the deer target.

Jess did pretty well almost hitting two head shots


Then Brady hit a dead centre on the Deer. When we go up there he exclaimed "Look I got it right in the heart."
