Our young ones and guns

[Ochoco]

Thought with all the crew around here we could get some good pics of our kids and some of their first critters or trips to the range.

This was Easter at my dad's place with my oldest son Augustus who turned 5 in August. He's using the same 62A Winchester that I shot my first rounds at 3 with.....Pretty damned proud to say the least.

I saved the first shell casings and I'm going to hot glue them to the frame this picture is going in.

This is a picture of my old man that same day soaking up the Central Oregon sun on his property.....probably my favorite of him in a camera.

Here's my 5 year old with pink lightning..........

 

[Uncle Dave]

Very cool pics, and I miss that country....(Or)

 

[pullit]

gotta love pic's of kids and guns....

 

[AKPredator]

Cool pics. My daughter didn't like the pink one, so we are going back to the gun shop to pick out a .22 for her. That looks exactly like the one I just about bought her, I think it was called a cricket.

She's six now, and hopefully we'll get some shooting in during December and go find a grouse or a hare to let her plink at.

Our daughter hasn't had a big interest in guns. For her, its all about the bow. We're getting her a pink Genesis for Christmas. The kid can fish like a champ though.

 

[Steelhead]

Yes indeed, very cool pics!

Here is my 18 year old with her first turkey..

 

[BrianW]

Our youngest with a Crossman BB gun she just got for her birthday...

Man i gotta get my little girl out so I can get some pics of her with her rifle......Blake

 

[Ochoco]

Here's a couple of pics of my niece with her new pink lightning.......

Little girl is gonna be a heartbreaker and heart shooter..... :grin:

 

[Painless]

Very cute little girl Matt, looks like you started her right.....Blakw

 

[Ochoco]

Actually, that's my new brother-in-law who's getting her started, but I'm leading him down the path of finer firearms and education in rifles that extend pass Wally World. :grin:

So far he's been pretty receptive and having in-laws that you like, not to mention hunt and fish with ain't all bad.

 

[Big Stick]

The saved casings...is such a great idea...............

 

[Painless]

was thinking same..........Blake

 

[Big Stick]

I wish I could snap my fingers and have every 22lr empty I've ever shot,collected into a single pile.

That would be cool................

 

[Painless]

T hat would most likely be several tractor trailer loads full..........Blake

 

[Joe]

I will have to take some pics of my daughter with her 22.

I'm kicking myself in the ass. Had my oldest out at the end of summer for the family shoot. His first 3 shots with a 410 and I tossed the shells and didn't even take a frikken pic. Damn!

I wish I could snap my fingers and have every 22lr empty I've ever shot,collected into a single pile.

That would be cool................

If you're like me, we'd best be outside when the finger snapping commenced. That'd be a pile.

Every Christmas I can remember as a kid was a guaranteed 500 rounds of 22 under the tree and 100 or more in the stocking.

I washed cars for a $1.00 a piece and split firewood all weekend to save up money for 22 ammo. Shot about a 1,000 rounds a weekend every weekend for years.

Our driveway looked like it was paved with gold and my folks had the cleanest cars in the county.

Can you beleive it was this pretty lady who suggested it?

Life is good.
