    My 2 1/2 year old is about the same. He knows how to run an iPad better than I do. Can't wait to take him shooting for the first time.

    Thanks for sharing this. I have to admit that it's the first thing I've ever seen that makes me wish I had a snot gobbler of my own.

    I remember doing that with my dad at that age. I would shoot until there was no more ammo, always. These are memories that will make him smile 40 years from now!

    So cool. I can't wait to take my stepson out with his .22 for the first time.

    Very nice, I can not wait until my boy(s) is old enough (3 & 5), granted if I can find ammo, I do have 500 rds to plink with so hopefully wont go bad.

    Very cool. What model pistol is that, and how was reliability over the 400rds? (been thinking of getting a .22lr pistol, but wanted one with the best cycling reliability)

    It was a Ruger Buckmark .22 LR. We were using Remington ammunition and it had a few hiccups along the way but that is to be expected when shooting that much dirty .22 ammo. All in all it ran really great. We bore-snaked it about every 50-80 rounds which kept things running smoother. It was easy for him to manipulate the slide and seat the magazine when I would hold it for him. Really great time. Thank all of you for the kudos. This little guy and I have an amazing bond and honestly wish I could've been a better father to my older son when he was this age but after his mother and I split, being a part-time dad was a real bitch. I feel like I got a 2nd chance at being a better father and I'm doing everything I can to give both my sons a great childhood. In fact, last summer I took my oldest (whose 15 now) out to Bob's range where he shot my .223 AR, 9mm AR and Kimber .45. He really had a great time and we are making plans to do it again when we can get more bullets loaded.

    There's nothing like range time with your kids-memories for me at this stage ! Well done Dad.
    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.
