The firearm thread

**Delerium** · 9th October 2007, 17:00

In saying that he needs to be careful and under supervision, it is a good way to introduce him to firearms and get good habits ingrained early. If he is keen
he may end up applying for his license later on. Air rifles are generally quiet enought that they can be used in your back yard and as a result remove some of the barriers of powder based firearms. You dont need to travel long distances to a range and it is the cheapest form of shooting there is. There is a lot of stigma with firearms and air guns, much of it unjustified. Hope he enjoys himself.

You were probably allowed to smack back in those days, might not of been the rifle you were initially afraid of but the thrashing if you didn't follow the rules!

I just thought you'd all get a bit bored if I started ranting about how much of a jackass the ex was, hence I'm worried about he's going to teach our son...

You could always arrange for one of the people here in this thread to help. I'm sure anyone of them, if available, would gladly assist in the training of a youth in our sport. They are the lifeblood of the shooting sports and should be encouraged as much as possible, albeit as safely as possible. Personally I extend to you a visit to my little smallholding just south of Tuakau on one of the days when I arrange a shoot on my 100 yard range. The youngster can have a with his airgun and possibly a .22 rifle. All under strict supervision of course.

Whats wrong with us "old farts"? Go on deny that you actually did go to the kitchen some time after the previous conversation.

No problem. I'll give you a call when I next have a couple of mates around for a plinking/ sighting in session.

If you and the lad can make it great. You may have to put up with a bunch of "cowboys" shouting yehaa, and calling each other silly names.

You may find that we can do the "yeeehaaah" with the best of them...

I was raised rounding cattles in the stinking hot sun, on horses... Short of having had a sixth finger surgically removed for aesthetic purposes, I'd say we're pretty much Hillbilys when we wanna be!

Very much looking forward to it!

If you don't mind extras along, give me a bit of advanced warning of a weekend session, and if possible I'll organise a babysitter, throw a couple of rifles in the car and Juliet and I will head out as well.
