Grandkids first match


Bulldog Brown

Recommended Posts

Took two of my Grandson to a monthly match at Capital City Cowboys (Topeka,Ks.) this sunday, It was so much fun to watch them, one 10, the 12,the comp. between then was great, all the cowboy there were very helpfull. The only was the pressure on Grandpa was pretty heavy, the 10yr. beat me on one stage at a match last month and no one let me forget it. It is so great to see the next generation getting into our sport. Just wanted to pass my feeling along, and to let you all know how proud I am of my Grandson. Bulldog Brown

Congrats Bulldog,

I have 5 grandkids, 2 cowboys and 3 cowgirls. The oldest boy is 7 and his brother is 5, the girls are 5, 3 and 2. 2 is probably too young, right? :rolleyes:

How old is old enough? The boys have been out to see me shoot once, other than that they haven't been around guns at all, their parents aren't either. I started only 2 years ago myself. How do I get'em started?

Congrats on the new shooting partners. My 7yo daughter just started shooting with me some this past summer. She only shoots the pistols most of the matches though. Shes still struggling some with the Henry 22, gets a little heavy for her to hold up for 10shots. But, shes having a blast. She doesnt shoot all the matches...just when she feels like it and doesnt have anything else going on. In my world...she would shoot every match, but thats my dream, not hers. SO...just let them shoot when they want.

We spent many hours dry firing, practicing drawing and holstering safely. She spent more time doing that than she has spent shooting so far...lol

Gave him some guns and said go shoot those steel targets. Lol!!!!

 

He shot his first match at the SW Regional Showdown at Buckcreek. He didn't shoot a shotgun so he took 4 misses on each stage. He had a Henry youth model that was cut down so far it almost looked like a Mares Leg. I was always right there with him and after about the 5th round his rifle would get heavy so I would support it while he aimed. His pistols never were a problem with weight. Later on we made a class for him and others called Lil Buckaroo at the Texas State match. When the regional went to Bar 3 it became the Chipmonk class. He started shooting a 12 gauge when he was 9. He never shot a 410 or 20.
