I've had the Grandson this week . we finally made it to the range today . I took him to our 50 - 450 yard range . he shot his 22 , and his 260 with reduced recoil loads . after todays session I'm upping the powder charge some more , he's not having any problem with the recoil . I put up some balloons at 100 yards , and we painted the steel targets at 50 , 100 , 150 , 200 . I'm very happy with his shooting , and his mind is on safety . he shot today from sitting , using his bog pod . today is the first he has shot from sitting . it was just windy enough the balloons , filled with air , were moving around . the water balloons didn't move , but they were a little small for him with the 22 . I forget what gong he was shooting , but he hit it every time . I asked how the target looked , he said one here and there , then just a big blob .
8" gong at 200 yards . 2 hits , and a nipper , with the 260 .
8" gong at 150 yards , with his 260 . he pretty well pounded it , twice .
8" gong at 100 yards , with his 22 .
100 yards with his 260.
we had 3 rounds of 260 left and he used them at 100 .
6" gong at 50 yards with his 22 .

He clearly has mastered the basics and is shooting consistently. Congratulations. I believe all of us enjoy seeing the younger shooters becoming proficient in the sport.
