Son shooting a 45 for the first time
My Son turned 13 in April so we started shooting Pistols. Started 22lr moved to 9mm then 38 Special. Yesterday broke out the 45 Kimber. The first shot was priceless his face was just worth it all. He adjusted and knocked it out he is a natural. Proud Dad.

Sounds like a great time, Don! Gun handling, safety, and fun are a wonderful Father-Son activity, IMO. I bet your son will remember this day for the rest of his life!

+1 on that!
My dad had me shooting air rifles at 7 and I was shooting shotguns at 10. Definately the right way to go..!
Sounds like you guys had a great time, congrats!

As an old firearms instructor (now only part time) that's what I like to hear.
My dad took me with him shooting the Krag-Jørgensen rifle when I was a kid, and it grew into one of my favorite hobbies.

That's good. Have to train the next generation to keep the shooting sports alive. All 4 of my kids and my wife shoot.

Boy, I'm glad there are some,make that a lot of guys just like me.
I had my boys in their high chair cleaning my guns with me,and learning how to handle them safely,If daddy shows you the gun isnt loaded,what do you do? Check it yourself.
that was lesson one. I had my boys in Fla where you can rent machine guns and had the big one (6"4 at 16) shoot an Uzi,and .44 mag,just for fun,the big surprise was the little one emptied the Uzi with almost all shots on target at 25 yards,and both handled the .44 as well as most men I know. It was priceless. Keep them shooting boys

P.S. Rick is 21 now and 6foot 7,my .45 looks like a toy,and the "little one" is 16 and six foot 4 try finding shoes for something like them!!!Last edited by Grizzley1; 11-02-2010 at 02:42 AM. Reason: A PS

all the father son stories are great but lets not forget the father daughter shooting stories
while I admit I haven't taken my daughter to the range with a firearm that uses gunpowder yet I have taught her with .177 and .22 cal air rifles and I couldn't have been prouder than when I saw that first bullseye...now I just have to convince her mom that she's old enough for real firearms
