I had some shells for it from a previous gun, so a day of familiarizing him with this thing and we were in the backyard blowing up pumpkins.
With his rifles he started fairly conservative, didn't ask much to go out and shoot, although he is on his 4th box of bullets so far this year (almost 2000 rounds). He has more trigger time in than any other person I know, including me, and I shoot daily.
He just can't put this shotgun down! 2 boxes of slugs at the range this morning, 2 boxes of #6 last night at the range and countless others in the backyard in the past couple days. He wants a re-loader now, and I think that may be a great idea at the rate he is spitting out shells.
I have been trying to post a video or two, but I just can't, so I will include a link (or two)..
Seeing an 8 year old with a shotgun can be a bit alarming to some, it is worth noting that Hunter has been an active shooter for over 4 years, he can recite every rule and regulation the Canadian law requires, and more importantly, he practices them to the point it has become second nature years ago. He has his own membership to a gun club where he has been awarded 1st place in every competition he has participated in, not limited to youth class.
In the rifle video you hear me call a seize fire, his bolt action is incapable of opening once the plunger is pulled (like an old Cooey), and our rule is that he can not lower the plunger, a moment of confusion, but safe none the less.
Pulled the video links, didn't like the access to photbucket.
