Brutal Honesty

I took my 4 1/2 year old son to the range today with me for the first time. He had fun setting up all the silhouette targets, and I let him pull the trigger a few times off of a bench. It was great getting him out there, then he became my little spotter buddy while I shot a practice round. The comments from that age range are always honest. Funny that the comments were only about the misses!

These were all his direct words: "You hit the dirt daddy" "Did you aim at that one?" "Try hitting it next time" and my favorite "Aim harder!"

My favorite is 'don't shoot dirt'.

I personally like the, " Did you aim at that one?" The "Try hitting it next time" is also a great one.

I heard all those and a lot more colorful sayings from my spotter in Arkansas this weekend!

He is off to a good start. Before he is old enough to drive he will have a playbook full of sayings to slight other shooters

Get him working on the mind game now!

Kids always give an honest critique. Sounds like you got a new one hooked, now just reel him in!

Hermit that sounds like John Livingston. He was a great mentor to many many shooters and had a huge hand in getting silhouette to were it is in NH.

Hermit check out the YouTube video that was done by Ruger. They did a bunch of different videos highlighting a verity of disciplines and silhouette was one of them with John as the star!

And no matter how hard I aim I still miss!

Hermit I don't know how to put the link up but search for " A beginners guide to silhouette". Shows the pioneer sportsman clubs ranges where the regional is held too.
If you can find it.....search harder! LOL
