My 40-year old son decided to start shooting with me last year. This was a significant decision because up to this point he had never shown any interest in guns or shooting; in fact he says they scared him. He's a professional author with several books to his credit, and he thought it might make a good story.
Well, he likes shooting. And he likes competing! He enjoys shooting black powder in Frontier Cartridge category in Cowboy Action matches. He and I went to several matches last year after he had practiced quite a bit. He placed third in his category last year and this year at the Prince of the Pistoleers match in Lenexa, KS, and took third place at the Midwest Black Powder Territorial Shootout in Branson, MO last October. My son is a Soot Lord!
The icing on the cake is that his book about shooting was published a few weeks ago.
Here are some photos...a shotgun fireball at the Prince of the Pistoleers match, his third place plaque (he's a Kansas City Royals fan, you can tell by the blue vest), and blowing smoke at the cylinder gap before the bullet exits the barrel at a local practice match.
