I took my two boys to the range this morning. They are 10yr and 6yr(turns 7 in 2 weeks). This was my 10 year old 3rd trip and 2nd for my 6 year old. They both shot a Marlin model 70 with a scope.
First the 6yr old, he shot 75-100 rounds total. The first time we went he had a hard time looking thru the scope so this week I had him take a unmounted scope and look at stuff out side. This got him to understand what he is suppose to see.
This was his first 30-40 shots at 7 Yards
At 15 yards he was still hitting the target but he jerks the trigger so we are going to work on that this week.
My 10 year old, This was his 3rd trip and he shot about 100 rounds. I love watching him as the last round fires he pulls the mag, pushes the safety, and checks the chamber every time with out me saying anything. Caught my self 3 or 4 time moving to do it for him but he was already doing it.
This is his target at 15 yards
He moved to 25 yards but he wasn't as comfortable so moved him back to 15 yards.
For me I shot my Hi point 995TS with a Red dot sight. I am still learning how to use a red dot. I am starting to get the hang of it. I think there should be a name for the rash you get on your cheek where the face plate pinches on recoil
Each time I aim at the center, my grouping got much better but I think I need to keep working on how I hold head and line up the dot.
First try
Second try
Third try
Fourth try
