OK, so I know this is a sensitive topic, mods are welcome to kill it at once.
BUT: I'm sure there are plenty of us who have an interest in shooting sports. My lad is 9, coming up 10, and I want to be able to share my shooting with him. That means he's got to learn to shoot safely. Accuracy is far less important than being trustworthy with a gun. I've already taught him how to handle an air rifle safely and accurately.
Does anyone have any experience with kids shooting? I'm going to take him for an initial try-out at a local club. Any tips for me (other than leave the instructor to do his job)?
TIA,
Tobes
