[Blackpowder Injun]

took the bobcat to the river with the wife and kids today. had a ball. hit 2 8 rings and 2 9 rings at 50 yards, open sights, standing. let the wife and kids fire it off a couple times...we all had fun. all 4 kids and the wife fired it off. 12 yrs, 11 yrs, 6 yrs and 3 yrs. of course I held it for the 2 younger ones. I was using 70 grns goex 2f, prb. let the kids fire with 40-50 grns....30 for the youngest....
all in all, a good day at the river.

Not only you, but your kids will remember this day too. Won't be long until they'll want their own rifle to shoot with daddy. Cherish this day :thumbsup: .

Hello from Germany!

You did a good job for our hobby, when shooting ML with your kids.

Oh my god, that would be impossible here in Germany, shooting around in the open nature, outside a range with a firearm and with kids showing them how to handle the gun. You would find yourself in prison and in the local newspaper.The crazy thing here is, that a hunter is allowed to shoot for sighting in in the open nature and noone would cry.

Poor Germany!

two years ago,for Father's Day, my then 46 year old daughter asked if we could go to the range and shoot together. She said one of her fondest memories are of when she was 12 an my gun club ran a junior program. She still has her NRA Sharpshooter medal, and is a gun rights advocate, all though a Liberal on all other matters...it was a good day for both of us. Hank
