I just found a "loved" Winchester Model 67A! basically the DK's granfather in design... Yup bought it! Can't wait to restore it and let the memorys begin! Now to find an East bay range that let's two year olds shoot! LoL

Cool. I still have my Chipmunk .22 from Grandpa. It was taller than me when I got it. Good thing I didn't have bullets for it though, I was too little and didn't know about gun safety yet.

Grats! My bun is done baking in 2 months and I am trying to figure out what type of .22 to purchase him. It's funny cuz I just let my baby mama read this thread and told here "see!! I ain't the only out there that wants to buy my son a .22..."

I'll prolly start mine with rubber band guns and then air rifles but I believe that sight picture needs to start early with iron sights, I was unknowingly handicapped because I was taught to shoot with a 10x unertl scope hand just suck at off hand open sight.

I always show people this first rifle of my kids, a Chipmunk single shot 22LR. It feels special to take kids to the range and spend some time with them.

I cant wait to take my girls to the range with me. When my first daughter turned two I bought her a Pink Laminate Crickett with stainless barrel. When my second one turned two she also got a pink cricket in stainless. One will be five this Septemeber and the second one will be three in August. Now my luck a third girl is coming this July. I think I will buy hers a little early just to ensure I can still get one at a decent price. Scared to evern try a fourth.

Being involved with projects for up and comers does warm the soul.

I took my son shooting for the first time a few weeks ago. I picked up a .22 Ruger with a scope for him. Although he was never interested in shooting, I wanted to do something with him that I was interested in.

Needless to say, he had a BLAST. He asks me regularly if we can go shooting...he even took a few shots with my AR15...wasn't his cup of tea as he just turned 9....he can't wait to go again....my 6 year old wants to go...I think he is still a bit too young....

great times ahead for you! congrats on your pending fatherhood!

I'm just blown away by storys of how my dad would carry his .22 to school for his MARKSMANSHIP CLASS!! and seeing three year olds winning trophys for 25 and 50yd.competitions imn some of my old target shooting books its pathetic how our society has degraded into such a gaurded freedom fearing one, Sheeple would go crazy if they were given REAL freedom...
