Flexmoney Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 chucksmall, What is that he is holding up in the picture? It looks like a smaller version of a range bag that one of our local guys uses. I had never seen one before or since...figured it was something he had made up or that his "grandaddy used" or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Wilson Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 I'll gladly add one here of my 11 year old son Alden. Here he is pictured training with Bruce Gray of GrayGuns fame. He has been shooting the local clubs' Steel Challenge as well as starting to shoot ICORE and USPSA (localy for now). He is also shooting .22 rifle for his NRA light rifle classification. Last night was his first first place trophey, high in age group and high overall in the Jr. Bullseye shoot. Although I've been giving him my complete knowledge of shooting (took under 5 minutes for that ) he has been also working with Lisa Farrell, Randy Lee, and even Bruce Gray when he visits the area. They have tuned on him this year and after the matches I end up hearing about what a safe shooter he is and about his willingness to help during the match. It has been made very clear by some of the locals that they want him (ok us) squaded with them because of that. (Insert pic of Dad all swelled up with pride). He and I had been trying several hobbies to finally hit on this one thanks to Lisa Farrell. This is the one thing that seems to take top choice over video games with him. Also it seems to be a great motivator as far as school goes. He has been told that if his grades stay high then he gets to go to some of the bigger matches, low grades = stay at home while Dad goes. I have to say also as a single Dad, this has brought my son and I even closer and days at the range have us practicing shooting and actualy comunicating. I'm sure there will be more Alden pics to come on here as he progresses. Dave Wilson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
99gski Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Chucksmall, What a WONDERFUL IDEA! Dave, congrats on your son's success (and your's too!) Shooting is such a part of my life because of my father. Thanks for bringing your son to the range and teaching him the most important aspects of shooting sports: safety and fun! You are very lucky to have Randy, Lisa and Bruce helping out with all their extensive knowledge, skills and experience. It doesn't get better than that!!! Best wishes! Thanks again and all the best, julie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nelson Jr. Francisco They have since graduated from their semi tricked-out G22's to STI Edges. Yes, my STI's. Guess I'll shoot whatever left in the safe...

I know Kay is not the tallest gal in the world but those two have to be at least 3 or 4 inches taller than when I saw them last. HOP Hey Hop! Sorry I didn't see your question earlier. Those two just NEVER stop eating. I think that to keep up with the groceries, bullets, powder and primers I'll soon need a second job. Here are some pics from other Juniors that attended Camp Shootout this past summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trisha Lowry Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Last weekend my son Ian shot at his first .22 match. He had a blast even with his gun breaking during the first stage. I handed him off to the great guys at Rio and they helped him through the match, even loaning him a gun to finish with and taking his to fix for him. I didn't shoot because I wanted this match to be all about him (and I wanted a video for Gramma!) I really have to thank Tom Rubel and Dave Sabia for spending so much of their time in getting kids into shooting. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5RcfWWpCaaU Yep a very proud mom!
