Talking First time shooter

My wife and I took our 11 year old nephew to the range today, for his first ever time shooting. The weather wasn't very good but we had the place all to ourselves which was perfect for teaching this young man a little about marksmanship and how to safely handle a firearm.

BTW he was wearing safety glasses while shooting we just took them off for this picture.

He had a great time and really wants to go again. The only "problem" is that next weekend we will be taking out his younger brother and hopefully introducing another youngster to the joys of shooting. Their sister also wants to go but she is only 5 and will have to wait a few years, I think?

I'd also like to give a HUGE thanks to a very nice AO forum member who sold us this nice little 22, it was just what we were looking for.

The kill is the satisfying, indeed essential, conclusion to a successful hunt. But, I take no pleasure in the act itself. One does not hunt in order to kill, but kills in order to have hunted. Then why do I hunt? I hunt for the same reason my well-fed cat hunts...because I must, because it is in the blood, because I am the decendent of a thousand generations of hunters. I hunt because I am a hunter.- Finn Aagard
