Teaching the kids about gun control

[propeine]

Just some weekend shots with my two girls. The oldest is 8 and lives out of state with her mother. She has never even been around firearms of any kind until this weekend. Started her out with my FV-SR and that was as far as we got. She went 6 for 8 on a 3" swinger at 50yds. Not too shabby for never having shot before. The youngest will be 2 in august and just knows she needs her muffs if she wants to be near us.

Browning makes some really good youth ear muffs.

Also the ruger 10/22 makes an affordable, and easy birthday present

Awesome! my son just turned 8 a few weeks ago and got his first .22

Lucky, my son is 18months and only wears his ear muffs because when he talks it sounds funny. So he walks around talking to himself with them on I can't wait to shoot with him.

My Dad started me out at 6 with a 12 gauge double barrel shot gun. First barrel beat hell out of me. Got up fired second. Never have been recoil sensitive, but not the best way to introduce a kid
to shooting. He carried and hunted with that 12 gauge since he was 8 yrs. Elmer Keith, father of the 44 mag. and 357 mag., started about the same age with a 30-06. Is purported to have said:
" If it ain't big, it ain't shit".
