Bite your tongue!Tree corpses are made for hanging on walls.
You just shut your whore mouth. Nobody wants to hear any facts or truth!
Girls arent equal.I've got a couple girls, one of which will be able to hunt this fall. The other will still go out with me.
We've been practicing our shooting with a little Ruger 10/22 that I put in a collapsible stock, so they could get it to fit them. They are deadly with it out to 50 yards now.
I dislike starting kids on scoped rifles, but this is 2025...so maybe I should be less of a Fudd...especially since most of my rifles are scoped anyway.
We moved from shooting off a bipod, to shooting off of bags. I've got them hitting a 10" plate on every shot sitting, kneeling, and standing... shooting off of chairs etc... I don't want them becoming dependent on a bipod and rear bag. I rarely get the opportunity to use a bipod when killing critters around the ranch.
A couple weeks ago we graduated to a 5.56, but I'm only letting them shoot 1 round in a session. Bear in mind that a "session" just means walking outside and shooting, so extremely minimal setup. Still, they have smoked every milk jug, 2-liter, and 1-liter bottle I've set out for them at 80-100 yards. They can hit the part of the label that I ask them to, and haven't had to use a bipod or rear rest to do it.
Today they graduated to a shot from their 6.5 Grendel and 6.8 SPC II. If the guns look familiar, it's because I've probably killed at least 100 pigs with each on video. If you've never seen the videos... consider yourself lucky.
Today was just a front bag off a table, no rear bag and they have to stabilize an unbalanced rifle. 113 yards (they'll be shooting at deer from 90 - 130 yards). Both of them hit the heart of Mr. Coyote on their first and only try today.
We'll be repeating this a couple times per week until September when I stop shooting here on the ranch.
It's a start...
And an end to my hunting for the next decade...
Totally worth it BTW.

An infringement of what, exactly?
Early Americans were required both in the colonies and the early Republic, to show up with working firearms, powder, and ammunition, and to train. Period.
This is entirely consistent with why the Second Amendment was written.
Here is the guy who is considered the author -
"The right of the people to keep and bear arms shall not be infringed. A well regulated militia, composed of the body of the people, trained to arms, is the best and most natural defense of a free country."
- James Madison, I Annals of Congress 434, June 8, 1789
Madison believed in a trained militia. Training is for producing proficiency.
"A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined..."
- George Washington, First Annual Address, to both House of Congress, January 8, 1790. The militia act was passed soon after (two years later) by Congress enrolling all males between certain ages in the militia and requiring that they arm themselves with certain weapons and a sufficient amount of ammunition, as well as some other gear. Washington signed it into law.
Are you aware of any of this history? Are you aware that there were penalties associated with failure?
"I enclose you a list of the killed, wounded, and captives of the enemy from the commencement of hostilities at Lexington in April, 1775, until November, 1777, since which there has been no event of any consequence ... I think that upon the whole it has been about one half the number lost by them, in some instances more, but in others less. This difference is ascribed to our superiority in taking aim when we fire; every soldier in our army having been intimate with his gun from his infancy."
- Thomas Jefferson, letter to Giovanni Fabbroni, June 8, 1778
Again, the object was competency through familiarity from infancy.
“A militia when properly formed are in fact the people themselves…and include, according to the past and general usuage of the states, all men capable of bearing arms… "To preserve liberty, it is essential that the whole body of the people always possess arms, and be taught alike, especially when young, how to use them."
- Richard Henry Lee, Federal Farmer No. 18, January 25, 1788
All that and yet the second amendment was written to codify that the right to own was God given. Whatever their thoughts/beliefs were on training were not part of the Constitution. Ask yourself why they didn't. Here's a good reason.... Because they knew that government is corrupt and giving any cracks would turn into the Grad Canyon. Look at what they have done to the 2A with it being written the way it was. I can't imagine how fucked we'd be if they had put anything close to what you suggested."If circumstances should at any time oblige the government to form an army of any magnitude that army can never be formidable to the liberties of the people while there is a large body of citizens, little, if at all, inferior to them in discipline and the use of arms, who stand ready to defend their own rights and those of their fellow-citizens. This appears to me the only substitute that can be devised for a standing army, and the best possible security against it, if it should exist."
- Alexander Hamilton, Federalist No. 28, January 10, 1788
Again.
The Founders thought there should be enforced training and drill and familiarity, and they made laws to force Americans to equip themselves and train.
