A week ago I set the date with my kids to take them to Waddill wildlife refuge to shoot their first 3D targets. Every day since they would wake up asking if today was the day. For six days I told them no not yet. Then today happened and we were set on going rain or shine. My hardcore bunch did it in a drizzle. As for the title of this thread..... what happens when you add the following: 1 toelke chinook + 2 hours with dad + 3 maddog pups + 4 little kids... I'll give you the answer memories, hopefully they'll tell to their kids fireside long after I'm gone. "Teach a child in the way he/she should go and when they are old they shall not depart." I will upload video links in a bit. Here we go.

We hit the regular range with both bag and 3D targets to start. Then hit the first 6 targets of the 3D course.

More. And to answer the obvious question, yes I shot with baby on my back the entire time. All shot well. Jack (the 3 yo) hit the most targets and Huck (the red head) had the best bullseye of the day.

We continued through six targets and then had a break at a nearby gazebo.

Everyone had a carrot for a snack and we returned to the range.

God gave us wisdom in that scripture but what he left out is that in the tween years children tend to swerve around a bit.
Good times with the kiddos. Kudos to you!

Continued on the range. Here's Huck's bull on the frog target. Dad ended the day showing the kids how it's done with a 35 yard bull on the bear target.

"Like arrows in the hands of a warrior are children born in one's youth. Blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them. They will not be put to shame when they contend with their opponents in court."

When we lived in Gonzales i used to shoot there with my daughter in a pack like that. Good memories.

That was great. You had your hands full! Really got a kick out of your younger son reaching for that second arrow!
