In a few days, a new member will be joining. His name is Jarrett and he's 10 years old. He killed his first buck last year with a .44 Mag break open rifle.
Jarrett is one of four children in a family that Janet and I have gotten close to. He loves to shoot his rifle but has no one to help him or teach him about it. I'm going to take him on as an apprentice caster and handloader and help him join the forum.
I suspect he'll be slow in posting. This is a lot for a ten year old boy. If he does post, remember, he's only ten years old, so cut him a little slack. What he needs right now is encouragement and praise for advancing. Let him know you're proud of him and that you KNOW he can do this.
Oh, and if you wanna rag me a little bit for his sake, that's fine. It's all part of the fun, right?
I 'preciate y'all understanding, guys. This young man is the grandson I don't have. He's very special and this means a lot to me. I can't wait to post a photo of him at the bench or casting his own boolits or a clover leaf target that he shot!
