Well today I bought my Youngest Son Ethan his first Rifle, and am really excited about starting his Marksmanship training. He did learn the fundimentals about proper gun handeling and general firearms safety with a Daisy Buck BB Gun. Now he has graduated to a brand new Cricket .22 bolt action. He is 7 and the rifle fits him perfect, I really like the idea of teaching him how to shoot with a single shot bolt action.
I loved seeing the look in his eye when we opened the action at the store and let him try it for fit. It took me back to years ago when I finally got to shoot a Rifle. My Oldest Son is the owner of my original .22 Rimfire, so Ethan got a brand new one for himself. I hope and pray that one day he will pass it down to his Son and pass on the tradition.
I will take a few pictures when we go out on our first outing and post them. I had to tease him a bit and ask him if he prefers the pink stock, or the desert tan. He chose the tan, Good Boy.
