Ryan, just watching good parenting puts a tear or two in my ole eyes. Great Job !
Awesome, love stories like this, brings back memories.
Questions, you know I have questions
What is the punch and hammer for, issue with your AR? Front takedown pin too tight?
Is that tiny white dot the target in the woods?
Did you have hearing protection in? I keep a small bag of foam plugs for bystanders.
The red dot is interesting option, but I like to start kids with open sights. Whatever works, important thing is having safe fun.
Bart- PM sent!

We we only shooting 22lr when my little one was outside, hence him being the only one wearing ear protection. The punch and hammer were for my step father to assist in adjusting the sights on him new to him lever 22lr. The AR was only shot when he was inside and it was just my step father and I. I was sighting in the eotech and playing a bit with the magnifier.
Good times.
Edit- its impossible to see, but we put a pizza box up at 50yds for him to shoot at. In the distance you can sorta see a huge downed tree on its side. It literally fell at 102yds, so he built a big metal frame that large targets slide into at 100yds with a built in backstop

That is so awesome!
I literally teared up when I read this.
This is where the entire US needs to be, back at the basics, teach our kids to shoot and respect, but not fear, firearms. They are a part of our heritage, our legacy, our freedom.
My greatest praise goes out to you.
Kudos!

Thank you for the kind words. Now my six yr old (who is Not ready yet) is saying he wants to try too bc his big brother did it. What have I started here?

That's terrific! What a great father son activity. Its a great way to build a lifetime skill and appreciation for firearms. You are welcome to bring him by to one of our Juniors practices to see if he would be interested in shooting with our Juniors team.

It's great bonding time with the kids no matter what the target looks like after. He'll improve quickly if he has the interest. 8 is young compared to my older boys who have just started shooting in the last year... but my three year old will probably explode if he has to wait past 6. I'm thinking supervised BB gun in a couple years.

That's a great feeling. I remember when I got my son started and I remember when my Grandfather got me started. Great job!
