Wildfowler Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I took my eldest son for his 3rd shooting lesson today. He's only 8 and is using a Webley and Scott 410 with 2 1/2'' 14 gram cartridges. He hit over 60%, which on his 3rd lesson i thought was pretty good. I was a bit peed off as my phone died when he was in his stride, he had a a run of 8 for 8... Today I was one very proud Dad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ghost Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I started a tread How did you get into shooting, with most saying Dad started me off. Your son will remember this time with you for the rest of his life....all credit to you. He is coming on a treat, no wonder you are proud.

Wildfowler Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) Thanks! Both of my boys are really keen and its a great way to spend some proper time with them! I think it's a great way of teaching kids respect and responsibility too... Just looking forward to the next one now...

Jono 4 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 Looks good, I have a soon to be 8 year old who just done his first season beating, would like to book him a lesson or 2 where do you take him? Would be nice if I could get him some lessons through the summer and take him on my pond this autumn. Jono Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wildfowler Posted February 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 A friend of mine has a small clay setup near Colchester, essex. Probably a bit far for you but he is great with kids. Plenty of patience and describes things in basic ways that kids can understand. If your interested let me know and I'll pm you his details.

Duffryn Posted February 11, 2013 Report Share Posted February 11, 2013 Enjoyed that would be great to see Charlie as his shooting progresses through his lesson's. Based on his shooting at age 8 it won't be long before he starts giving his Dad a run for his money ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many thanks graham PM sent... Edited to say, i just realised he has a website. Its not a big ground with loads of targets but its great for teaching people to shoot with no pressure from a big queue of people waiting to get on the stand... http://www.clactonclaytuition.co.uk/ Edited March 4, 2013 by Wildfowler Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
