After orienting him to the operation of a .22, we let him try his luck at a 100-yard 8-inch metal plate, figuring he'd shoot in the general area.
The little bugger went 14 for 15 shots before a miss.
David let him try his .17 HMR, which is a zippy shooter out to 200 yards.
Miles hit the plate first time at 200 yards.
Dad shot many years before he could reliably hit at 200 yards. Miles did it first shot.
And second shot...
And third, etc.
He then started playing 'golf' with David. Rifle Golf is where you take turns shooting at golf balls laying on the ground between 50 and 100 yards. He was pretty good, staying close with David. No handicap for this kid!
(For the non-shooters out there, a golf ball at 100 yards is a damn hard target)
So now he NEEDS his own, Miles-size rifle.
