Title: VIDEO of my son practicing up for the season
Post by: sugarray on March 26, 2011, 09:30:46 PM
So I have the 20 gauge and FF II lined in and we went to practice.  It was cold at 30 degrees, but we got 3 shots in.  He is 3/3, 100 % at 20 yds.  He is my son, Reis, and he is 6.  Pressure is on dad to put him on his first turkey.  He seems to be settling in and ready to hold up his end of the bargain.

His 3rd shot.  Let me apologize up front.  This was taken with my iPhone and there is no zoom.  Also, the down time is me getting the gun up on the bipod.  All I do is get him pointed in the right direction and keep the gun from falling when he shoots.  He aims L/R and pulls the trigger.  Yeah, don't make fun of the calling, I know it was crap.  Trying to make it realistic.

Hey great video. So you know your Photobucket account is set to public once we click that link we can see your entire album. I suggest setting it to private. That will let people see only what you post.

Thats an awsome video Ray, thanks for posting it. You did let your son know about the long agonizing wait that's in store for him til our season opens up didn't you.  ;)  Looks like he'll be ready though!  :fud:

Great shot.  I hope you get him on some birds.  I think he can hold up his end of the deal.

The smile makes it worth your time and effort. Wont be long and he will be counting the days until he can go with you to the woods.

Yeah, he was as happy as I have ever seen him.  Was going to let him try out on a bird or two, but it was cold and he was ready to go.  Hopefully, this weekend I can get some more time in to shoot and will try out to 30 yds and at turkey head targets.

You guys really know how to put the pressure on a dad.
