Thread: Teaching Kids To Shoot

I remember my dad letting me try his 303 when I was about 8 or 9. Not a peasant experience! I got my first air rifle at age 13, and my first 22 at 16. I started my daughter on my .22 air rifle when she was 8, but it was too long and heavy for her. She then tried my JW15S, and she has fallen in love with it. We go over the rules each time we go out to the range, and she is really good at calling "bolt open, mag out, chamber empty" each time she finishes a mag. I made a bunny shaped gong target, which she loves to make swing. Haven't found any hunting grounds just yet, but as soon as I do, we will be out there. I have suppressors on the 22's and she has cute pink earmuffs (grade 5) as well for when we shoot non subs.
