Indians For Guns

Here's a few pics of my Grandson Ben with his first gun, a BB Gun. It was a great time for me, starting my grandkids off with teaching them about shooting sports.



Ben gets his birthday present. L to R, Big Ben (my younger son), Ben, and yours truly. I'm not sure which Ben is more excited.



The proud rifleman



Supervision



A trip back from the target, which was a food mixer box safely against the dirt bank of the hillside



Kneeling position



Ben had to try the prone position: It was shown in the instructions that he read before shooting



A few last shots, both gun and camera-wise



Time for dziadzi to go home -- two happy boys!

Fabulous!

Awesome Timmy! The pride in that young man's face is unmistakable (not to mention Grandpas face ). Getting your own gun for the first time is a momentous occasion. Another young man setting foot on the proper path.
Since they came out with the the anniversary version of the Red Ryder this year, I bought my nephew one for Christmas too.

This clip always gives me a laugh.

Great pictures,Tim. The supervising pic is great too. Reminds me of the Range Sergeant from my NCC days. Hope,little Ben will become a great rifleman and make daddy and grandpa very proud. Thank you for sharing these pictures.

Great pics Tim. Thanks for sharing with us. Loved the smile of satisfaction on l'l Ben's face in the last pic. That says it all. You do know you can smile in front of a camera, don't you??

i got a 12 bore when i was 7

Great going Timmy, hope you have loads and loads of fun with your son and grandson.

Looking at those pictures gives one a lump in the throat.. Have been thinking about this for quite a while now, my kids are going to be this age in a couple of years and what option do I have?? Importing a BB airgun (with all its hassles) which they will grow out of in a couple of years dosent seem worth the effort! Maybe modifying that Baikal wasnt such a bad idea..

Splendid pics Timmy! Thanks for sharing. I can imagine his excitement. By the way, beautiful view from the window in the last pic

You must have had a growth hormone surge at 7 to be able to mount and shoot a 12b. Did you actually shoot it properly?

ya but my shots wernt good at 7 but still i would be able to beat you
