Thread: Finally found a use for a Zeepk kit!

Very nice idea! I'm sure the kids had a blast with it!

Also kudos on the respect thing. When I was about seven my father bought me a BB gun and gave me a long lecture on safety concerns, complete with possible negative outcomes from not following them. I was only allowed to use it under supervision and any mistake I made (other than just plain old poor marksmanship) was quickly corrected under threat of not being allowed to use it any more. He bought me an archery kit around the same time under the same circumstances. I started shooting the .22 rimfire around 10 or so, shooting skeet around 12.

Some people when I tell them that think it was very irresponsible to put a gun in my hands at that age, but I knew the risks and was always supervised. And you know what? I never once felt the need to play with a gun, or mess around for my friends. I grew up almost fanatical about gun safety. I'm one of those annoying people that will shout over to you to open up your action when you're walking up to me, or remind you that anything but a steep downwards angle while holding a gun is unsafe while walking (heh, this one has caused some agruments in the past, but come on, cradling the gun and having it point straight to the left or right, you can get shooting the breeze and wind up turing to say things and so on, then bam, muzzle is pointing right at someone. Shoulder carries drive me nuts too, in fact, there is one person I refuse to hunt with anymore because they were ahead of me on a trail with their rifle over their shoulder pointing back at me, and when I asked them to change it, they argued it was empty )

I'm getting off topic though... Basically, learning proper safety at a young age, I think is the best way to make sure the many rules get locked in your head from your impressionable age and by the time you're ready to go out and do it yourself, the how, why and what could happen is already locked in your head.

Just my two cents, kudos on the fine child raising.

Very cool!

Just showed the gf and she really enjoyed it. She finally took an interest in SRS! Thanks!

Great idea for the zeep, i just threw the one i bought when i realised it was a piece of junk.
