Country boys

Blaine has been itching to teach the boys to shoot ever since we moved out to the country. Blaine is super safe with his gun handling and has taught the boys the same safety routine when handling a gun. I believe that if kids know what guns are, how to handle them safely, and understand the seriousness behind what happens when you shoot a gun they will be less likely to have an accidental mishandling of a gun. All of this has to be age appropriate mind you. After feeling like the boys were finally ready to shoot and understood the safety rules, with Blaine's close help and supervision he took the boys out for a little target practice. FYI: the boys know they only touch the guns with Blaine's help and the rest of the time the guns are locked up in a safe.

Safety routine first.

Cooper shooting like a pro.

Carter needs a lot more help from Blaine. Blaine never takes his hands off Carter when he lets him shoot.
