Thread: My sons first time on a centerfire

He did pretty well, took on the 270 and walloped @muckos gong at 170M and still went back for a few more rounds and avoided getting the dreaded scope eye

I had good fun on that 270

Thats to true

Need to put some weight on that front foot not rest it on top of your rear foot, if the rifle was any lighter you would have fallen over backwards

Thanks for the advice, I did do one thing right,

Hold the rifle tightly in the shoulder.

Thanks for pointing that out VC as it is one thing i did not notice so next time I will have to remind him about keeping one foot forward and one foot back to stabilise himself. Also he did actually shoot more than just the 270 yesterday he also went behind a 243 and a 6.5-06 so he did pretty well in the centerfire department.

But I will keep that in mind for when I go target shooting next time

only leaves the 264 win mag and the 8x57 for next time oh and the 30/06

Somehow I think he will still say no to firing those 3 even though the 264WM has less of a boot than the 270 he ain't believing us

Start him off with a sporterised 303 complete with brass butt plate and a stiff 180gr hand load and anything after that will be a breeze

the 8mm has a brass plate it got @hunter308 on round three
