Went out to a sand pit and let the daughter ring off a few with the .22. She's only 4 so it's perfect time. Took the son out Thursday and he liked it too. It's the perfect situation to teach them all the rules. Here's a short video of me and the daughter.

That's great!!! I need to get some video of mine. They always have smiles from ear to ear.

This is great. I'm glad my dad and grandfather started me as early as they did (Yes, my mother was equally opposed to it as your wife). My grandfather thought it would be funny to let me shoot a snubnose .357 at like 9...I think the gun ended up somewhere behind me...

I love hearing stories of people passing down our sport. I taught mine at four, they couldn't shoot it double action so I pulled the hammer back. Anyway, took away their wonder about guns and what they would do.
Good for Ya'll Dan, glad ya'll had a good time and she probably was glad to have her dad there to hold the gun and offer encouragement.
WELL DONE!

Cool. Wish my 19 year old had an interest in guns, too busy going to college and working she says. She carries mace. Doesnt want anything to do with guns. My nephew OTOH loves em, he is 17 and going into the Marines next year, wants to be a MC Sniper. Taking him to the range Tuesday.

 

[ree_countrygirl]

AWESOME!!! i love to see kids involved in the sport. i think i was about 4 when i started shooting

 

[Lt.Dan]

Hey thanks everyone. You should see some of the comments when I posted the video on facebook haha. Trina out both my kids love it, they woke me up this morning at 6 wanting to go shooting. They don't even care about trick or treating haha. I just wanted to get them familiar with the sounds and such so the next few times is going to be more concentrated on safety and rules. They even sat with me when I cleaned the guns haha. And the best part is they like the smell of hoppes #9 haha

 

[Myers]

I spent 3 hours cleaning guns yesterday..enjoying the amazing smell of Hoppe's #9...Just something about it.

I think its funny that the big city types are out critizing us for owning guns and having them around kids but in reality WE are the ones with smarter kids and WE are the ones spending quality time and more time with our children than anyone else out there. Our kids are the ones that grow up and know a thing or two about life rather than video games and cake.

where is this sand pit?

 

[captain-03]

WTG!! Get hte kids involved and maybe the wife will follow (slowly)!! I wish my kinds (both grown) had taken a great interest in the sport ...Much was my fault being too busy to encourage them along!!

Do it while they are young!!

thats a good age to start teaching them RESPONSIBLE gun usage. that keeps em from learning it the wrong way as they get older. ie, from tv, friends...

kinda like s e x... i wanna be the one to talk to my daughter about it. not someone trying to get in her pants... i teach her gun usage for the one trying to get in her pants... lol j/k... kinda...
