Good day

[dcopas78]

It was a great day for my 5 year old, well 5 year old on Tuesday. It started out with a birthday party with all the family, his first real gun...a Savage Rascal 22 lr, and ended with some time afield with his pup Sable, and my first shed of the year which he quickly claimed.

 

[FAIR CHASE]

The savage rascal is a great choice in a first 22lr!!

That's great!

Never too early to start safe gun handling/etc.

How many little critters are going to bite the dust with that .22? I'll put the over/under at 1000. Awesome!

That's awesome!

Very cool!

My wife thru a fit when I wanted to buy a 22 for our 7 year old. She thought we should start with a BB gun. If only she knew how much trouble I was with my Daisy pump back in the day...

Definitely going to be a few! My first 22 was just a shade longer than this one and I squirrel hunted until I was probably 12 with it. I couldn't tell you how many I shot with it.

I know what you mean! I was trouble with my Daisy. We started him out last year on a Red Ryder.

He is right handed, I think we just caught him off guard in the picture. My dad shoots left-handed so I know what you mean. Gun manufacturers aren't too lefty friendly in many cases.

Very cool. He’s already got good safe handling practices too.
