It will not let him down that won't Jimmy.

Up until my bad tin of exacts, mine was, as Mark says "like a bloody tac driver" with them.

Is this where the young buck challenges the reigning stag pal.?

Your still thinking in .22

You can easily zero at 40 yards in 177

Well, if I can be half as good a shot as that, I'll be happy. Young un could certainly teach me a few things!

[budharley 945]

Good shooting little hunter , well done young man ,I'd say your not as good as me but I'd be lying .

[mark williams 7,563]

Well, Little Hunter, if your Grand Dad will allow me.

 

 

If your shooting to these standards at 11 yrs of age, then carry on, listen and learn, and really listen to your Grand Dad and Uncle Sean because that shooting is a touch better than theirs you know .

Their photos don`t lie do they - they are both top marksmen lad.

There's a formidable young shot emerging here Gentlemen. You watch, there will be much more where these tight groups come from

[philpot 5,038]

You know it is such a pity that we can't see the little fella actually shooting but I understand why you would not post photo's with all the issues with children on web sites and the nasty stuff that goes on, anyway it's good to hear he is enjoying himself and clearly doing well with his new gun.

He is a lucky grandson and I think you are a lucky grandad being able to share the sport with him.

 

When my son was about 6 or 7, ( he is now 46) I bought him a Diana ???? rifle, it was very small and the barrel was wrapped in sheet tin/steel so it made the gun look as though it has a thicker tube. We had hundreds of hours with that little gun, he even took it with him to the clay shoot where we put some empty 12 gauge cartridges up for him to shoot at. I wish I knew what that gun model was because I would try to find one, if any are still around, ready for when my grandson is big and old enough to use it, already got the fishing gear ready

I seen the little fella shoot , and at 65 yards he was getting groups the size of 10p

There's no doubt , he's going to be better than that bloke in American sniper ,,

And that's a fact

He's shit hot
