In Which Rychen P. Shoots his First Gun

We have a "no gun" rule in our house. I have wondered how long it might last, knowing how futile this sort of thing can be when it comes to little boys. Somehow we did make it 7 years without Rychen P. playing with any toy guns (except for nerf guns at Grandma's which were immediately frowned upon by Dad) ...and then reflecting on this, today I suddenly found myself watching him shoot a BB gun

and apparently he's not bad at it. Here's one of his several targets, for 5 shots. Notice 4 holes on the target, one only slightly outside of the Bull's Eye.

This was at a cub scout festival today. No, he is not in cub scouts yet but I am a leader so he got to come with me!

We also did archery. This is what he was really interested in, the whole reason we went at all. He's been talking about archery for months and I myself was just tickled to get him the opportunity to go shoot some arrows!

Bull's Eye!

and my own game  (don't you love how its on the ground?? haha)
