Hunting Season Countdown

My son is getting ready for hunting season! He loves fishing, but I think hunting may be his favorite. It is time to do a little target practicing. Nothing can ruin a young hunter's day like missing a chance at a trophy because of missing a shot. Kids do not necessarily retain their skills from year to year (neither do us older folks). Kids must practice to make sure they are ready for the big shot when it takes place.

One thing that is important is to start with a simple shot preferably with a rest and to do a few other kinds of shots. This is fun and it helps the young hunter to be ready for any shot he might get. We all know that seldom does the game appear right where we had planned.

Not only does target practice help the hunter, but it provides a good time for a little fun without having to be quiet, and still. Getting out there and practicing is always worth the time.

Tip: It is good to start with cheap shells like 22's before actually using the gun they will be hunting with.
