Had the chance to take one of my brothers in law and his 1st Cousin out to shoot. Both under 18. Generationally we are in a weird place where I am between an older brother and a younger uncle.
The boys were excited to shoot my modern guns before the trip. They shot all sorts of semi-auto army guns like ARs, G3s, FALs, etc.. But the biggest smiles of the day were ringing steel plates at 100-300yds with Civil War rifle muskets and playing cowboy with some Colt revolvers and a course with silhouette targets.
Kids can love BP shooting. But we need to propagate disciplines attractive to younger shooters, especially dynamic action shooting.
