This is such a weird question for me, but here goes.
I have a 7yro son who I would like to get interested in shooting, as he's now responsible enough to keep the gun pointed down range and taking things seriously; maybe start him off with a 22lr. But when I bring up the topic of doing this, he seems completely disinterested. He seems to enjoy shooting his Nerf rifle at targets, but doesn't seem to want to take it up to the next level.
On one hand, I don't want to be pushy, but on the other hand 1) I think he'd enjoy it and 2) it would get me out to the range more if I could take him. I am kind of pondering just making him handle my 10/22 some evening to remove the mystique from it further, but I don't even know if that will be enough.
Has anyone else had this problem? What did you do to move things along? Should I be thinking basement air gun range?
