I carried some irons to have some entertainment.After lunch, the little ones were hunting eggs, I mosey down the shooting range, older grandsons following.We had been busting caps for about 45 minutes and youngest grandson (Mason - 8) comes down. A minute behind him, daughter-in-law niece and John, her 6yo slowly walk down.Mason wants to shoot, I load up the .357 with cowboy loads. He finishes his 5 rounds and we are at the bench. John and his Mom come up and John says he wants to shoot. I look at Mom and she says he had never shot, held or seen a gun, but it was ok for me to show him.We sit down and have a little lesson, show him how it works, let him hold it.I have a 5 gal bucket of water, sitting about 5 yrds down range. Load 1 round and have him hold it both hands. I help support his hands and cock the hammer on the Blawkhawk. He takes a serious aim and pulls the trigger. Hits the bucket dead center and destroys it.I take the gun and eject the brass. Mom asked if she could have it, " for his book of firsts ".I couldn't say no. Though it hurts when I lose brass. John's Dad showed up, yo see what was going on. Said he had never fired a handgun. He ended up shooting them all. We may have a couple of "nuts" in the making.</blockquote>
