Pisser! Listen!
Hey, I got my son out today and we did more than shoot the pellet guns.
He actually took my 9mm HiPower in his hands for the second time and hit near a target. He insists upon using a 9mm. All others just suck but I convinced him to try one of my .45 M1911 style Colts. Guess what!!!
He hit the target every time. I mean, showing him how to do it I stacked all shots in one hole from fifteen feet. But to see him stay within the 9 ring over seven shots was like a breath of fresh air to me.
Made a little progress in the direction that these old .45s are not so damn bad after all. I mean shit he barely stayed on target with his treasured 9mm, but hit pretty damn good with Browning's 1911 idea.
He also tried the 12 gauge shotgun, but I am afraid that put him off a bit. It was loaded with number eight shot, fairly light, but it kind of startled him, some.
