How To
How can I teach my son hunting?
This is a very common problem. Many parents want their children learn to shoot guns. But they don't know where or how to start. Safety is the most important aspect of teaching your child gun safety. Make sure he knows what to do if there is an accident, such as getting shot. Also, make sure he is aware of the rules for shooting. For example, you should teach him to always keep his finger off the trigger until ready to fire. You should immediately call 911 if he shoots himself in error.
The next step is to teach him how to handle different types of weapons. This covers rifles, shotguns and pistols as well as airguns. You should teach your child how different types of weapons work, so he can decide which one is best for him. It is important to consider the size, weight of the weapon as well as its accuracy and power. A good starter rifle would be a.22 caliber rifle. It's small enough for beginners to hold, yet powerful enough to kill pests like squirrels. A 12 gauge shotgun can be used by adults comfortably and still provides enough power to kill animals. Children who are learning to shoot can use airguns because they are quiet and simple to use.
You should now help your child practice shooting at targets. He should try out different positions and angles to see which works best for him. He should also be able to properly clean and maintain his weapon.
After your child has mastered the basics you can start hunting. There are many ways you can teach your child to hunt. Let him out in the wild with you. You can also buy a gun and teach him how to load it and unload it. Still another way is to get a dog and teach your kid to train it. Dogs are great because they obey and follow orders quickly. Dogs can be a great friend and playmate for your kid.
If none of the above methods appeal to you, then you could hire someone to teach your children. However, this is a costly option that requires lots of babysitting.
