I saw some Savage youth .22 rifles today at Gander Mountain. They struck me as a step up, quality-wise, from the Crickett or Henry. Only $129, too!

dws, Shooting in your mind is good too for the times that you are not at the range. It is the same as practice w/ an unloaded weapon at home on access, presentation, & reloading. I actually practice reloading at home more than at the range. More draw & dry fire from seated at home. My computer chair has arms on it that are really close to the armrest in my truck. I can get the truck rests up if needed but this is really good drill set up for a carjacking drill. (flint, you are responsible for me thinking this one up. Remember) The only place I accept popups is on this forum & highroad. (only ones either place are PM's) When I am going to be here for a while I sometimes unload & set the drill to be at a popup. SURPRISE

You really do get back to normal reading, posting, laughing, learning. The BG may come tonight or you may have an uneventful drive hom in the traffic Just like the real world except here the BOOOOM is supposed to be a click.

You have a hard time simulating surprise at the range. Bottom line is, you will never shoot straight on the range if you can't shoot straight in your head. Good form, grip, presentation, all begin upstairs, not in your hands.

Good price on a good rifle. But, they don't come in PINK!

Kind Regards,

Tom

Outstanding! Yup, exactly like that. I picked it up on Wednesday and stored it away for, hmmm, 3 or 4 years. Granddaughter to be born in May.

Thanks for the pics. Great looking kids. Keep 'em shooting.

Kind Regards,

Tom

I have a friend who has a daughter that loves to go shooting. She doesnt like any of my rifles casue they are still a bit big for her, even the .22s, but loves my Ruger Single-Six .22. For a 6 yr old, she does very well too. Kept all her shots in a 6 inch group at about 12-15yds last time we went. Might have to see about getting her her own Bearcat in another year or two. She also told me that she doesnt wanna shoot rifles cause her mommy shoots handguns and her mommy knows best. Gotta love it.
