wisdom Posted February 21, 2018 Report Share Posted February 21, 2018 Great stuff.Its nice to see youngsters coming through. both my lads learnt on clays not as young as yours though. I like the pic in the snow as it looks like you have captured the shot string.In fact they are all good but that's my favourite. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Geo Posted February 22, 2018 Report Share Posted February 22, 2018 Great photos, I have recently started my 12 year old daughter with a 410 , against everyone's advice. Most advise a 20 bore but she seems to do ok with it, as you say it's all about getting them out there and offering them something different that they can take with them through life.

Wilksy II Posted February 25, 2018 Report Share Posted February 25, 2018 Good on you Neil, it great to see, I wish someone had nurtured my enthusiasm early on, unfortunately I put my 12yr old daughter off for life put her on the Basc have a go stand at a game fair and she didn’t like the kick, she’s not bad with an air rifle though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have recently been slated on another Forum for stating that I used a 12 or 20 bore semi auto for Instruction on such things as corporate days and 'have a go stands'. I used them for THAT very reason. I can safely say, hand on heart, I have NEVER been responsible for hurting any pupil in this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
