My son just turned 14 last week. He's been working hard to earn enough money so that he could buy his first shotgun. He wants to go dove hunting and maybe join the school skeet team. I took him out to shoot over the weekend. He just started shooting shotguns this spring-his 4th or 5th time out. He's doing pretty good. I'm proud of him. https://youtu.be/w3YGoXsb9Lw

My 13 year old has beaten me at both skeet and trap the last few times we’ve shot. He shot 24 out if 25 on the trap range this past Saturday, beating me by one. He asked me “Daddy, are you tryin?” We both knew that he would outshoot me someday. I just didn’t think he would do so, so quickly. He is shooting a 70s era Remington 1100 with a 28” modified barrel. He absolutely loves it. Bisque, keep you boy shooting. He may want to consider joining a 4-H shooting team. 4-H is a great organization that produces good shooters and even better kids.

Always good to get kids involved with shooting sports, hunting, and fishing.

Jaguar, in my sons case, he's been shooting since he could hold his Red Ryder up..just not shotguns. He could use a rest with a rifle. Shotguns, not so much. They were a little heavy for him, but he's had a growth spurt this past year, so now he can handle one safely. Also,I never was much of a shotgunner until the past 4 years; so he's tagging along and picking it up.
