well, my son is 6 yrs. old now, and shows alot of intrest in shooting, and hunting.
i just signed him up for cubscouts this week, and we have had our first meeting this week, and my son, and i are real excited about the upcomming events.
one of the events is going to be learning to shoot a bb gun. i have always thought that teaching a youngster the proper way of handleing firearms,and learning their capabilities, and hazards, could posibibly save lives in the future.
for instance, lets say he is at a party ata friends house, and one of the kids find a parents firearm in the house, and thinks it would be cool to play with it.. perhaps if theese kids are trained in the hazzards of loaded guns, they could be smart enough to run from the danger, and hopefully save some lives too.
ok back on to my idea. i was thinking that being that he is going to be shooting a bb gun in cubscouts, that maybee it would be a good idea to get him (and myself) an air soft gun. that way we can practice indoors with bad weather, and also being that they are airsoft guns, a missplaced shot wouldn't be an issue as far as damage goes.
please let me know what you folks think of this idea.
meanwhile i think i will be making a trip to the locall sporting goods store too look at, and maybee even purchace an airsoft gun.
thanks, me
