Whatever happened to teaching kids to actually hunt? Ease through the woods, stalk close enough to use iron sights? We've become a nation of sniper wannabe's and it would seem we're teaching the kids the same attitude. Can't get close enough to whack that animal with iron sights? Wave bye bye to it with a smile- it teaches kids humility and the important lesson that it's not just about killing stuff.
Walk before you can run, learn to use hand tools before graduating to power tools, and learn to drive Dad's pickup truck before hopping behind the wheel of a tractor trailer- same difference as learning to shoot with iron sights first. Lay the groundwork first.
