And apparently he's *quite* the shot, taking out saltine crackers at 25 yards, IIRC, quite the little sharpshooter he is
Apparently, at cub scout summer day camp this summer, he tried out for the target shooting team and did phenomenally well, he also knew both the Eddie Eagle program *AND* Cooper's Four Rules before any of the other shooters (thanks in part to me teaching him both sets of rules)
Apparently neither my Sis or BIL knew he tried out until he got accepted (both of them are apathetic towards guns) but now my nephew is really getting into it and has been asking Sis and BIL where I go when I go shooting, as he wants to come along
He's even started talking about wanting to shoot clay pidgins with shotguns too
I told Sis and BIL that they all have an open invite at my range whenever they want to go, in fact, I want Sis there on Logan's first range trip, so she can see the range is safe
Looks like Logan may be getting a set of Childs hearing protectors, shooting glasses and a membership at my range for Christmas
And yes, the urge is there to celebrate this by buying him his first gun, but I don't have a huge amount of disposable income, and I don't know what the ATF rules are about "gifting" firearms
Ideally, I'd love for his first gun to be the Ithaca 49 that single-shot lever action that *I* learned to shoot on, but that gun is still Dad's and it's not my place to gift it to him or not, Dad may no longer shoot, but it's still his property
Other options would be taking Logan to KTP, having him pick out his first rifle (ideally a single-shot break barrel or bolt, or a bolt repeater in .22) and I keep him supplied with ammo
I'm really looking forward to seeing him try out trapshooting, apparently that's what he *REALLY* wants to do now, and yes, SM I took a page from your book and already dropped the hint about a H&R Topper Youth in either 20 or 28G
