    My son and I had a free day a couple of weeks back, he shot his first group at thirty metres ( the 'group' is now framed in the workshop ).



    What lovely images, Craig.

    Awesome range for a youngster.

    And how big's that smile?

    The next Bucket Slayer par excellence in the making!

    He really loves it, mate - same with my daughter ( now nine years old believe it or not, she first attended the Bash at six months old... ).
    I hope they both keep it up because the thought of either of them developing an interest in football, requiring me to be pitch side with a bunch of over enthusiastic dads for more than ten minutes, fills me with the fear...
    And ironically, I was slated on here by some bellends, years back for saying AR platforms are the perfect learning base for a multifunction air rifle for all ages and compatibilities. Yet here's my left handed, four year old, comfortably shooting his nearly fifty year old, right handed dad's rifle - which also his nine year old, right handed sister uses....
    Just think, if FX and AA hadn't released those AR stocked riles over fifteen years later, those same bellends might still think the same
    Put on heading 270, assume attack formation

    I dare not take either of my two shooting for fear they will beat me! Although to be fair having thinned out my collection and got rid of the PCP's I may still have a slight advantage
    TX200 .177 | HW80SLK .177 | HW35 .177 | HW100 (or 2) .177 | HW77K .177

    That pistol grip looks a bit plain Craig, could do with a bit of checkering if you ask me
    Far too many rifles to list now, all mainly British but the odd pesky foreigner has snuck in

    I can understand that, you're busy enough as it is.
