Seanyboy's First Rifle

This past Sunday, Seanyboy and I had a moment to go fire his new rifle.  What a great time at the Hogue Gun Club in San Luis Obispo.  Spent the first 30 minutes calibrating his red-dot scope.  Got it close enough for his range of shooting.  We had a great time as men together...

This experience of gifting my son a firearm provides much good.  Not only will he learn how to expertly handle his rifle, he will experience extremely important lessons in safety, discipline, respect, care, and humility.  My upbringing was much the same way and the tradition will be shared as best I can.  In time he will also grow to understand the important freedom and the stewardship that it comes with.

Much thanks to my dad for his training and care for me in these areas.  I look forward to continuing that same family tradition with my children.  

Great time with my son this past Sunday.  He was glowing with excitement of the experience and really did well with the instruction, safely and respectfully.  Looking forward to more together...

Thanks for reading...

Outdoor Fun in the New Year

TJ, Seany Boy, Papa, and yours truly went target shooting this past Monday.  What a blast.  TJ sported his new shotgun and we brought a quiver with us.  Dad was the best on the pistol.  TJ was ruling the shotguns.  Seany boy nailed some targets as well...

What a great time indeed.  I love that we get to experience our rights to bear arms and train our children in that tradition.  We should not take these freedoms for granted.  We must maintain these freedoms with good will and stewardship.  When we were done, we left no trace of being there...

Praise God for these times...

Seans first big boy shot!

Meant to blog this before. Seans first experience with big boy ammo. Papas mini 14 and Seans shoulder. As he squeezed two shots off, I whispered in his ears and asked what he thought - Sean replied with a deep and gutteral - Ahhhhsommmme!!!

Yep - he got that right.
