My fault of course - again.
Now we all know that a .410 is not the most effective shotgun gauge, nor is it the best gauge for a kid to actually hunt with and the ammunition costs.
We have discussed pattern boards , and scores at Skeet.
Some stuff is just neat, sentimental , fun and "because".
One of the single moms *got* herself a new H&R single shot .410.
She did not need a shotgun, she has shotguns.
She really likes the 20 gauge and 28 gauge.
Just. She. Got. Bit.
Now her son is having a great time with a single shot .22 rifle, with other kids.
Heck all of us adults are having fun with this.
With shotgun stuff, I often use a single shot .410 for my instructors gun.
Kids size or adult, don't matter, I just use one to assist new shooters on stuff...
I often tote one of these single shot .410s just taking a walk...
Lob Slugs out yonder...
And this lady has seen me fell doves and other small game...
Her son , as do the other kids , sometimes have a big time assisting with Pattern Board stuff and sometimes it is just fun to have a kids assist in .410 single shot patterning.
Seems her son had this really big grin one day , and this neat sheet of paper telling mom all about this pattern this gun shot...
See the young man has a Youth .410, and other guns. Grandpa is doing a real good job of fixing this boy up.
<stomps foot> Arrggghhh! I can't stand it, I want a single shot .410 to mess with too!
I've seen this coming...
The boy too...
Grandpa has been waiting and watching too...
The rest of this bunch...err...umm..."we are helping".
~~
Mom and this boy head over to dad/grandpa's.
Boys are going to get haircuts and run errands and mom/daughter stays at the house.
She got busy.
Home cooking, cleaning and just working herself silly.
Boys come home and she suggests they go watch that old movie and she has other stuff to do in the house...
"Your momma is getting geared up to ask me something, most likely a favor boy, so pay attention and learn about women ..." grandpa shares
Boys get to snickering...
Oh my! What a spread was fixed with home cooked meal, and desserts.
House has that "women done been here and cleaned" smell.
Dishes done, time to settle down and over coffee daughter asked
"Dad, go with me tomorrow to look at guns. We haven't piddled in a gun store in a bit and your grandson needs more .22 ammunition and quality time with us all 3 doing this".
"Anything in particular we looking for? grandpa asks being dumb as a brick.
"Oh...I don't know, maybe a single shot .410." she says
"You did not clean under your old bed did you? You always forgot to clean under there" grandpa says.
Mom gets up, runs to her old bedroom and underneath is a new H&R Topper in .410.
"Only reason I never cleaned under there, was so you and mom would have a hiding spot..."
This gun comes with a good used reloader as well, one grandpa found some time ago and being a grandpa "just figured it would come into play someday"
Oh yeah, they went to piddling at the gun store...had a great time!
Seems the folks at the gun store played dumb about the new shotgun, until it was revealed it had been given.
Then the razzing, the story telling, the women vs guys on house cleaning.
Grandson made out like a bandit of course during all this.
