I was at Gander Mountain the other day and the place was busy, busy, busy with guys buying their kids and wives various kinds of single shot rifles. Some of the kids looked to be 8 or 9 years old. And the calibres of choice was (you guessed it) .223 and .243.
It's too close to the season opening for the kids to do too much practicing and I wondered about the fathers putting their kids in the woods with a marginal cartridge to begin with and then further handicapping them with a single shot rifle. Then it dawned on me that the fathers might be putting their kids (and wives) in the woods with something in their hands so they, the fathers, could fill their tags.
What do you guys think?
