went shooting today with my son and grandsons. always a great time shooting with family. took my new ruger 10/22 target. i had sighted in the scope a few weeks ago but my son had never shot it. his first shot kneeling at 100 yards and he rang the steele, i was thinking he got lucky till he kept doing it. i took 2 shots at 125 yards resting the gun on the truck and hit it both times. very happy so far with the rifle. we let my 8 year old grandson shoot it once at 50 yards. my son helped him hold it by putting his hand under the forearm but let him aim and pull the trigger by himself. first time he ever pulled the trigger on a real rifle. had only shot his bb gun before. his first shot he hit the target. will let the 5 yearold try next
