Kid Shoot

The kid shoot at Nancy's was fun.  I wish there was more kids there. 

I did get a chance to spend some time with one little boy.  He was maybe 7?  8?  There was a language barrier so instruction was hard.  And his form was terrible!  Nothing I could do to correct it.  Being left eye dominant but right handed didn't help.  But eventually he turned to a natural bench shooter stance/position, with his off hand at the base of the stock.  Horrible form, but dang if he wasn't a dead eye crack shot after a handful to get used to it.  Then he was hitting all the metal poppers, repeatedly, dozens of times.  His sisters were pretty good.  He did best with my 10/22 and it's peep sights.  The semi-auto nature of it, after shooting a bunch of singles, was a big hit for him.

New things I got to shoot...  Bubblehead Les's mauser with a scout sight.  JD Rush's bullpup Steyr set up for lefites.  OldNFO's Colt Mustang was a novelty.  I shot it pretty good and it only jammed once, ftf.  And I was lucky enough to shoot the flintlock musket twice.  It was a oppurtunity to give JayG the remnants of the UN helmet we blew up at a Northcoast blogshoot.
