I posted some videos on here a while back of my eldest son learning to shoot. Since then he has been coming out with me now and then to sit a watch and see how its done, but as most of my shooting is wildfowling its not ideal for a beginner. My club runs a small syndicate shoot which I have been beating at for the past 16 plus years and shot at on occasion, this season i'm shooting on all the days. A fortnight ago I took the mrs and my eldest son along with me, he's been beating there since he was 6 so turned up expecting more of the same, however as a treat I took his gun along. I'm lucky that all the other guns are really supportive of youngsters and had all agreed previously to let him shoot, to say he was surprised was an understatement... Here he is ready for a days beating (he wanted to dress for the day)

Due to work commitments along with various other things its been a while since i took my son for a shooting lesson, but i took him on Saturday morning and he did really well. After only a couple of shots he was back in the swing of things so we moved onto some crossers. He struggled a bit to start with but towards the end it all started to come together... Then we moved onto rabbits just for a bit of variety. I must say these were not easy as they were bouncing all over the place but again, he got there in the end. He really started to show a lot of maturity and restraint. If he knew he wasn't going to get it, he had the confidence not to pull the trigger, which for his age i thought was pretty good! Sorry for the background noise, his enthusiastic granddad was there to help look after my younger son... http://youtu.be/TdctUgDdogw
