I took the little man shooting this weekend

Well, it such a nice weekend here in SE Washington that I couldn't pass it up. The little man, the wife, and I took the Marlin .22, Ruger 10/.22, the M&P AR-15/5.56 NATO, and my .243 out and expended over 1000 rounds. I took about 100 pictures but the first one below is my favorite.
Check out the concentration on the young man! He's 7 yrs old and only weighs about 43 pounds so the AR is still a bit on the heavy side for him. But, he didn't let that stop him...even after he "scoped" himself on his first two shots! He was pretty damned accurate out to 150 yrds too, hitting the target about 80% of the time.
He's getting stoked that he's almost big enough to actually hunt. However, he needs to get a bit bigger so that he can lug a rifle around and shoot on his own. He can shoot the .22s off-handed but anything bigger is still a little too heavy to make a steady shot.

way to get him out there and into the sport!
my 4 yr old daughter is just on a red rider bb gun so far, but hopefully this some- with LOTS of help, she can shoot a little chipmunk .22 :thumb
But who is that goofy looking guy with the knit cap? lol
