So, this weekend I was going to take my oldest son, Wyatt, who is 8 and a buddy of his shooting. His buddy is the son of a friend who is not at all comfortable with guns, but to her credit, she is allowing her son to pursue that interest and learn safe handling. Anyway, the boy popped a fever, but Wyatt and I went anyway.
Proving how much I love the lil redhead, I actually allowed him to shoot up some oh so precious .22 rounds in my single six.
I was shooting my .41 mag with some light target loads and he asked to shoot it once. It is my policy that if he's bold enough and confident enough to ask to step up, I let him, within reason. He is right handed and left eye dominant, which we have worked on quite a bit. Here, he obviously get a bit excited and forgets. I just let him enjoy the moment.
