Great day at the range with my nephew!

It was super fun. I only wish my niece who was also in town wanted to go, but she's at that age where she'd rather just sit on her phone. I extended the offer to my brother and sister in law to come out next time they are in town and we'd go to an outdoor range and bring a few rifles and stretch them out a bit. My nephew now wants a crack at the Benelli M4, but that may be a bit much for him right now. I'm thinking he'd do well with a mini-14, so that's in the plans for their next trip. I'll also bring a 20ga O/U and let him shoot come clays.

I went the opposite and took my 84 year old dad shooting while he was here for Thanksgiving. It is getting harder and harder for him, however he was smiling ear to ear when we were done.

Anytime "WE" can put someone new, younger or older behind a tool and have them operate and create a BIG azz smile we are doing good.. But then you know that. One of the 2 girls that shot yesterday came to realize the bags were her friend. Once she made friends with the bag she had several pieces of dancing steel and big grin. I'm happy to hear that many here enjoyed the weekend and got some shooting done. What the board is supposed to be. Good job Uncle T.

I'd have sure thought Uncle T would have gotten more play time here ?

Alabama has a fine JROTC program. My daughter turned her 4 years in an Alabama JROTC high school program into an all-expenses paid college scholarship, and 4 years after that, a commission as a 2LT in the US Army. I wish your nephew well!
