[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2794283, member: 5412"] Sounds like your plan worked. I've never been comfortable with a new shooter at an indoor range. Too many rules, but those rules are there for a reason, to keep things safe. Kids love to walk a can across the ground with a .22, and do fun things. It would be nice if you could get them to some private ground that is not set aside for hunting. I've had mine shoot tomato's, clay targets, etc. They like that a lot better than punching paper. This time of year, the garden produces a lot of "targets". :D Take some 2X4"s or 4X4's to shoot so they can see how much penetration a bullet can get. Always tie in safety with each different type of shooting. When shooting 2X4's tell them how a bullet can leave a house and enter another house to kill somebody, and so on. [/QUOTE]
