Our daughter, SIL, and two grandkids came to visit today from Newburgh. The kids, he's 13, she's 11 wanted to shoot. They had never fired a gun before although their Dad is into guns and shooting. We started them with my Rem. 511 bolt action in single shot mode. Soon they were using the mag. We stressed safety and especially muzzle control. They soon graduated to semi auto .22 pistol with red dot sight. To say they enjoyed it is an understatement. They Ate It Up.
