Proud Day - Took my son shooting!

[johnnycat]

I have worked with my 8-year-old son a little with BB guns and a .22 with iron sights. He kinda got the idea, but not very well and didn't particularly enjoy shooting.

I decided to take a chance so I bought him a youth CZ 452 and mounted a fixed power 6x Leupold scope. The results were amazing! He has really taken to shooting with a scope and was busting small clay discs and Zombie targets at 25-40 yards until we ran out of targets.

I can't say enough about the youth CZ 452 - it fit him well and seems to be an accurate little rifle.

It doesn't get much better than that! I only have the one daughter and she is also a rso at the range. Chip off the ol block.
We also have "pop gun night" (.22) at the range once a month and have a friendly little contest for them broken onto three age groups. You should see those kids beam with pride when they win 1st 2nd or 3rd place trophies! Makes working Saturday night worth it!!!

My son(age 10) loves going to the range with me. We have a lot of fun. He has a R700 .243 and got his first deer this year with it. He has shot my GAP10 several times and wears my AR15 out everytime we go.
I love seeing kids at the range.

Great way for a father and his son to spend the day together. I remember my dad doing the same thing with me when I was young. I was so proud when he bought me my first .22 for my 12th birthday. Been shooting ever since. Congrats.

Can't wait for my 2 boys to get old enough, but then I guess I will never have enough ammo.

Re: Proud Day - Took my son shooting!

I know the proud feeling. My son started with a pellet gun at age 8. Then a Marlin 60 at age 9.

By 10 he was shooting an M1 Garand with a little coaching.

By 11, the Garand by himself.
