My wife and I spent a lot of time with this young man as a baby up until he started school, then between split custody and 2 sets of real grandparents, and long distance limited his visits with us.
Sadly his mother passed away this year, and he has had a pretty rough time. She was a great lady who made sure he could get a couple of visits in with us when possible.
We have had him over a couple weekends recently, and my own Grandson and I put him on a crash course on shooting at our range here at the house, he loved shooting and took to like a duck to water.
We started him on 22s and worked on up, rifles and pistols.
A couple of bricks of 22s, then started on larger rifle cals. in short time he was wearing out my 8 inch 250 yard gong with my grandsons 7.62x39 AR.
His dad got him to the required hunter safety course and we were ready for hunting season.
We never got a chance at a shooter deer for him but we did manage this hog, about 90 yards perfect shot, ran about 40 yards in thick woods so was able to give him a good blood trailing lesson to boot.Attachment 291741
