Proud Dad!
My 11 year old is already shooting competitively with our local 4H shooting sports team. The National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association's Territorial Shoot was this weekend. He took second place in on match and first in another and had a high enough aggregate score (84/100) to win the sub-junior age division!
Loading...
Shooting...
47/50... 10,10,9,9,9!
37/50...
With his medals...
1st, 2nd, and 1st overall in his division!

Dad, that is awesome!!! Too much time is put into modern firearms these days IMHO. Way to keep the real firearms tradition alive!!!
