Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
Well I took my younger son up Nort ta do some shooting and turns out he's not quite ready for shooting.  He had fun with the .22 but his brother's .243 was too much for him.  He wouldn't even try the 25.06.  The he's also got a brand new 20 gauge O/U which he also didin't want to try but then I showed him he could just shoot from the hip out into our shooting area.  He actually had fun doing that but would NOT shoulder that thing.  I tried to encourage him but it was doing more damage than good so I let it go.  I just let him have the fun he could and told him we could try it again in a year or so when he's older and bigger.

So we lost one attendant  :cry: to our fun shoot but myself and my older boy will be there.

Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
maybe the son doesnt think he is ready yet, not a bad thing.
some parents would push the kid. take him with and he will
soon see that he can handle it. remembering way back..
my daughter was around 10 and she wouldnt shoot my 9mm,
neither would the wife. after watching me shoot the daughter
wanted to try. after that she would ask, when we going shooting
again!

Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
Yep... let him decide when the time is right, but Randy's right, bring him with if he wants to go,  He'll still learn things just watching the bigger guys & how they handle firearms (hopefully the right way ;)) and other stuff... he'd still have lots of fun!

Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot

Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
Good idea. I'll plan on bringing him.  He will have just gotten his FAS certificate so maybe he'll be even more pumped up to try it again.  Im not going to push him though; I just want it to be fun for him -- and everyone for that matter.   ;D

If it would help anyone, I can bring enough ear plugs for everyone and possibly enough eye protection.

Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
yes the shoot is still on the 19th, that would be next saturday.

also weather is looking really hot, it says its going to be in the 90's so dress to match the weather,

also bring something to drink like water, i will have a cooler full of water and pop free of charge.

like grute said if anyone doesnt have ear plugs or safety glass's he has some extras as well as i will have extras also.

Re: Sporting Clay Fun Shoot
HERE! (count me in!)  :happy1:They also sell shells, eye & hearing protection in the clubhouse.  A good thing to bring is something to carry stuff around in... (water,shells,bug stuff,more shells) a hunting or shooting vest will work but a shell bag/small duffel bag with a shoulder strap works really well.  They also rent carts there that will even hold your shotgun! :doah:

I'll also bring my flipper for the grill too.
