As silly as it seems, this really is the only way traditions sustain - generational transference.
If we’re doing a “dad-brag thread,” my son was finally big enough to shoot a couple PRS matches this season. He’s been training with Nerf guns since he was about a year and a half, started shooting Rimfire at 2yrs old, and centerfire when he was 4. He started wingshooting at 6, as well as doing some offhand shooting of conventional pistols. He’s been too small to move match rifles and engage most obstacles at PRS matches, but at 9 now, he’s finally getting big enough take on some matches without totally rewriting the CoF on every stage.
Shooting “tree apples” (hedge apples) with his BB gun in one of our pastures when he was 2.
Practicing from sticks at 50yrds when he was 4.
Half mile with my 6 creed match rifle at 6yrs old.
Falling plate relays at 50yrds with a specialty pistol at 6.
300 yards with a cheap 22 rifle and scope when he was 7.
Had a chance to test drive an MP5 clone at a PRS Pro Series match this summer.
PRS Regional match this spring
Not his first deer, but he knocked down his first buck this month - 172yrds with a 6 Dasher.
