sako 75 .243 Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 After working like a trooper in the garden and cleaning the kennels yesterday,I took my 16yr old out for an evening on the rabbits with the .17. He has been a real pleasure to teach all aspects of gun safety.He started at the age of 11 with the air-rifle on paper targets,then onto the .22 at 14 closely supervised on paper and the odd rabbit!...never once has he asked to shoot my bigger calibres. Packed up the .17 about 6 last night and headed out. I put up 2 targets at 50 & 100 yrds within 5 shots he was bang on,we moved on to an old railway line that is infested with warrens!...I sat back and proudly watched him shooting from 70 to 150 with only 1 miss ...which was my fault shot over the top. Ended up with 19 in the bag,and a 16yr old grining like a Cheshire cat. Good job Beau! Dad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigyin Posted July 27, 2014 Report Share Posted July 27, 2014 Great stuff , hopefully he stays keen ,there's a serious lack of youngsters coming into the sport ,and no wonder he's grinning that's a good bag of rabbits aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

visiter1 Posted July 31, 2014 Report Share Posted July 31, 2014 fair play itsgreat to hear a young man down an old railway doing something other dan drinking , also take me back to when i was growing up i used to do chores for my grandad and the reward was getting to shoot his .22 rifle in the long evenings .
