How To
How can I teach my son hunting?
This is a common problem. Many parents want to teach their children how to shoot guns. However, they are not sure where to start. Safety should be the first thing you consider when teaching your child about gun use. You should make sure your child knows what to do in case of an accident. It's important to make sure that he fully understands shooting rules. To teach him, for example, to not touch the trigger until he's ready to fire. If he accidentally fires on himself, you should immediately stop playing and take him to the emergency room.
Next is to show him how different weapons work. This includes shotguns (pistols), rifles, and airguns. You should teach your child how different types of weapons work, so he can decide which one is best for him. You should take into account its size, weight and power when choosing a weapon. A.22 calibre rifle would make an excellent starter rifle. It's small enough for beginners to hold, yet powerful enough to kill pests like squirrels. A 12-gauge shotgun, on other hand, is large enough to comfortably hold and has the power to kill any animal. Airguns make it easy for children to learn to shoot.
Your child should practice shooting at targets. To find the best position and angle for him, he should experiment with them. Make sure he is familiar with how to properly clean and maintain the weapon.
After your child has mastered the basics you can start hunting. There are many methods to teach your child hunting. One option is to take your child out on the open field with you. Another option is to purchase a gun at a shop and teach your child how to load and unload it. Another option is to purchase a puppy and train your child to train it. Dogs are great because they obey and follow orders quickly. Dogs can be a great friend and playmate for your kid.
If none of these methods appeals to you, then you can hire someone to teach your child how. However, this method is expensive and requires a lot of babysitting.
