I took my boy shooting today. He's getting good. He likes shooting the .17 HMR more than the .243 win, but can shoot them both. While kneeling he can regularly hit pop cans that are laying down at 50 yards. So, Any edible critter within 25 yards would be well within his range. He's going to take his hunter's safety course this year. I think he'll be ready. His cousin who is 9 killed her first buck last year, so my boy who will be nine this year is chomping at the bit.
Then, we went sledding... hiking up those hills reminded me that I need to work on my cardio.
