Don't mess with a Southern Belle not as tall as a kitchen table.
And for darn sure do not make any negative comments about Pink Panther!

Her "shotgun" resembles a Marlin 60 stock with a PVC barrel...painted purple, with no beads!

Shotgun fits, as when she correctly mounts gun to face from low gun, with eyes closed, and opens eyes once buttstock hits pocket, her eye is sitting atop that barrel just right.

Her foot position is perfect ! Just look at her feet inside the "feets" on rubber mat.
Stance is great and that weak knee is cracked!

Head down on stock, and she slaps trigger and continues follow through in dry fire practice, doing her nightly repetitions -Ingraining correct basic fundamentals and building stamina.

<ill wind blows>

[RoadRunner is pretty cool too, so don't mess with him either]
 
Shotgun lessons

Something I and mine have done forever is to get kids started on the correct basics of shooting shotguns.

We make them a "shotgun" using for instance a one pc wooden stock and use PVC for a barrel.

Fit this gun to them.

Take a rubber mat and trace around larger shoes to make "foot prints" kids can put their feet into, to have the correct foot position,

Kids see adults doing all this and want to learn too. So they are a part of everything from safety, to how stand and mount a shotgun to face, the pattern board, everything.

Repetitions of doing all these things can be done in the garage, for instance.
So again, forever, many folks that shoot shotguns for competition, do nightly repetitions of shotgunning.

Kids are right there with adults using their shotgun and doing this too.

One used to see foot prints on one field of a skeet, or trap range with foot prints for each station, this field was often used to introduce and instruct new shooters.

This young lady likes the Pink Panther ...and her little "shotgun" will have a Pink Panther sticker on the butt stock to mess up the mental game of her competitors. *wink*
 
But why bother?

All you gotta do is buy a XYZ brand shotgun, bolt a bunch of stuff like shell holders, lights, lasers, ghost ring sights, etc onto it and stick a bunch of whatever the guy at the gunshop says is the best ammo into it and you're good to go.

It must be true, I read it on the innerweb!!

:D

Why Bother?

I "are" old for one and just passing forward as was passed to me.

Oh there is part about making mats with foot prints, making a shotgun, seeing the big eyes, excited kids , and watching a kid watch an adult and them hollering out "crack that knee!".

Every once in a while a dawg will stand on the mat, give a goofy grin as to say "see, I can do this too?".
 
Why bother? Because getting kids interesting in shooting not only makes them safer around firearms and thus safe if a kid at another house tries to play with one, but also brings the next generation into a fold that is ever-shrinking.
