Had my oldest son (7) out today for the first time shooting the Marlin 15YN I picked up for him. Needless to say he had a blast, I only wish I had remembered the camera. The rifle's still a bit long and heavy for him so I only had him shooting off the sand bags but he actually shot pretty well. He followed all the safety rules and actually listened to what I was telling him. I didn't really expect him to hit much, this was really more to get him used to it and see if he could listen to my instructions. Amazingly enough though he was doing pretty well towards the end. I let him shoot about 25 rounds and a good percentage (probably 60%) were on target. Range was about 10 yards and targets were a printed zombie target for fun and a 6" shoot and see target. He loved every minute of it and wants to go again before he goes back to school this fall, I had a good time and am very proud of how well he did and how well he listened. Now if I could just get him to listen that well when it's time to clean his room...
