Sounds like a really great day. My parents are quite a bit younger but anytime at the range with mom and dad is good stuff. My sons first rifle was a chipmunk and we did the balloon thing too. That and old pumpkins, apples, you name it anything that made a reaction when shot.

I filled a laundry detergent plastic jug with water and when my grand daughter shot it the cap flew about 20' up in the air. She thought that was so cool.

I love hearing this. Our family traditions of hunting and shooting runs deep too. I’m doing all so can to keep it going as well.
