Back yard toy.... break barrel .22 cal suppressed pellet gun. haha!
The kids have learned how to shoot on airsoft and BB/pellet guns, but had yet to shoot a real gun mainly thanks to my lack of a .22 cal. Then we heard of a shooting event for the kids in a nearby town- so we took the trip. Even ended up in the newspaper.
Not sure why he chose to use the pic of me with a goofy smile... but anyway- I was having a great time watching my kids plink off targets that were waaaay further and a bit smaller than what they were used to.

Here are some pics my wife took of me and the kids....
Caiden tried out a compound bow
Caiden shooting the ram (2nd furthest target, you can see the closest over our heads and the target we are shooting welded to the stand)
A bunch of the partipants running out to stand up the targets... you can see the furthest set there on the right. Caiden is straight ahead of this barrel. (all guns are verified "made safe" before anyone runs- don't worry!)
Laurel shooting (you can catch a glympse of my super comfortable Ruger being carried IWB here)
The ride home..... ahhhh silence!!
