Shooting Sports

After a skunk started getting my chickens, we decided to invest in a BB Gun. I was worried some kid was going to shoot their eye out, but Mark (being a little more knowledgeable about guns than I) decided to teach the kids a bit of gun safety and introduce them to a BB gun. After all folks, if you are going to have a gun in the house, you better teach kids how to respect it.

The girls were hesitant at first, but actually took a liking to it. Katrina was pretty good for a girl who was afraid of guns at first, getting all 5 targets. Even Caroline and Mason got 4/5 usually. The BB Gun we purchased was too large for them but they did the best they could.

Since then, we let the girls shoot a 22 and they love shooting targets now. We'll see if they get into hunting the "cute little animals" someday.
