[QUOTE="DavidMcmillan, post: 3211234, member: 11749"] This is an opportunity to help a real, live, breathing human. You have already been a good influence on him, and now you have that opportunity to help him, and his bride, in another chapter of his growth. Don't do it because you want to help him shoot, but because you want to help him grow. Talk to him, take him to an indoor range, talk about responsible handling, and give him a chance. If he trips up, correct him respectably, and encourage him. If after a fair amount of time, he hasn't shown a desire to mature, step away a bit. Don't push him away, he may have a bit of insecurity and self-doubt. Even if the shooting activities don't work out, stay with him as a solid, caring influence. He may very well need a good example! We respect you for helping this young man. [/QUOTE]
