Title: My Grandson's shooting!
Post by: Dannyboy53 on March 26, 2016, 09:04:37 PM
Our Grandson Jace is 9 yrs old and shaping up to be a danged good shooter! The only long or short gun in our "arsenal" that he hesitates to pull the trigget on is the 12 guage. He has shot them all, The SKSs, ARs, .45 ACP, & the .357mag. But he loves Grandma's .22 LR Mossberg International 715T. It's a cheapy but a great shooter.

He's firing Federal LR 36grain HP at 38 feet and having a field day. He told me with a big grin that he just HAD to make those head shots...I'm danged proud of this boy!

This kid's deadly.

Thanks Carbine, they will never understand until they have their own Grandkids that it's more fun for me than it is for him!

Awesome stuff Danny!

In 50 years when he's all grown up and maybe has grandkids of his own, he'll tell them all about the time he spent shooting with gramps.  clap1

Major props to you for passing along the talent and the importance of one of our greatest freedoms to the next generation. I love seeing the young 'uns taking a shine to the sport. It's one of the few things that sincerely makes me optimistic.

Great shooting! My grand daughter turns 8 next month. I'm hoping my daughter in law will let me teach her this year. I know exactly what you mean about it being more fun for you than him. I love watching them learn new things.

Best not let dianne crazy in the head feinstein see this thread she will have the poor kid locked up as an adult for having one of those "evil" ass ault weapons! She will claim he's training to be a mass murderer and that his family is deranged and they caused it all.

That crazy woman might leave him alone after she sees him shoot!  ;)
