Crimine sakes...I think Sparkey preformed a jedi mind trick on me or something! But I'll take him out to The Mint and generally corrupt him anyway! Plus he threw in the possiblity of teaching me steelhead 101. how could I pass that up?!
If you are going to take him shooting, at least bring him out for sporting clays. Trap shooting is a game for a rifleshooters eye, not a shotgunners. It's too easy- my average is 22. I don't think it's good practice and teaches bad habits like aiming instead of pointing and lacks much value for instinctive shooting.
Just my 2 cents! [/QB][/QUOTE]

Riffle shooting has nothing to do with trapshooting! You must still follow thru when Trap shooting and I agree that Sporting clays are more of a challenge, but Trap Shooting is the best place to start. And teaching you bad habits????? you must explain that one some more to to me. You can learn a lot on a Trap range and gun handling is one of them.
