Folks,

I thought you would enjoy seeing some clips of my son shooting an 870.

He shoots with me and my friends alot(beats alot of us frequently), his shotgun is an 870 Youth 20ga with a Choate +2 and a 4 round sidesaddle. I got the parts from Tanks Rifle Shop and the service from them was great.

He is a very quiet, respectful, smart boy and I am very proud of him.

Please leave some comments I know he will get a kick out of it.

PS His sidearm in these clips is a custom G17 in a Blackhawk thigh rig.

There's good reason for you to be proud, Dave. He's good. I'm especially impressed by his use of the sidesaddle. Congratulations to you both.
 
Very nice shooting, your son is well on his way to becoming a mature and respectful man, you’ve taught him well. Sweet range set up-
 
Dave, I'm curious about when and how you started to teach him. The first video is identified as being a year old now, so he was well on his way by age 12. Did he start with the shotgun or handgun?
 
Very impressive. I must admit, I wish I'd had the opportunity and instruction at his age! Inspirational stuff!
 
Thank you for the comments.

That video is only a few weeks old......I don't know why it says it is 1yr old.

He started on a Chipmunk rifle when he was 8yrs old. Almost all of his shooting has been on steel targets. All of his shooting has been 3-gun type shooting.

I have some video of him hosing down poppers/plateracks with the G17 and a 9MM AR Carbine. I'll get those up soon as I can.

I have video of him smoking cops in man vs man platerack w/ pistol and carbine but due to etiquette can not post the videos. LOL:evil:

Click to expand...

YouTube glitch maybe? It happens.

Did he go from the Chipmunk to the 870 or the G17 or both at the same time? My daughter was shooting a Model 1911 at about age 12. I'd never thought to introduce her to a shotgun then. After seeing your son I wish I had. Ah well. That was long ago.

I look forward to seeing him do the poppers and plates with the G17.
 
Smart boy?
He's brilliant!

Let Dad Buy Ammo/Use Up/Repeat ;)

I couldn't watch the videos here at work but I'll check 'em out at home.
 
The shotgun is a recent addition, he probably only has 500 rounds through it so far, he was pissed that he couldn't run the shotgun courses that we do so I got him the 870 for his birthday.

I added some videos of him shooting handgun/carbine, just click on my account on the youtube page and they should be available for viewing.

Let me know what you think.

Thanks,

Dave Williams
 
Excellent work, both on his part and yours. You are justified in your pride taken in a well taught son!!
 
I wish my dad had gotten me into guns when I was a kid--I could have been enjoying them even longer! But video games got me to liking them about four years ago when I was fourteen. Your son is quite good. When he's my age he'll be excellent and when he's your age he could be the next Tom Knapp!
 
Kudos to Dad and Son.

My Twin Boys are turning 7 today! Gonna give them BB guns this weekend. I can only hope they are doing as well when they are 13.
 
Great video of a good shooter. You have every right to be proud of that young man. I'm glad he likes Glocks and 870s. They will serve him well. You've done a good job with him.
 
I just watched the first handgun video, Dave. Good job. I'll try to do the others later this evening. I'm enjoying them very much.

Forgot to ask ... How come no sling on the 870?
 
There will be a sling, just gotta get the $$ together, you know how that goes.:)

Dave Williams
 
Dave, you just made my evening much better. Thanks.

Kudoes to both of you.

I'd like to see how he does after he adds a good set of wear marks to that fine shotgun....
