CZ shadow at 12 yrds..

[Brianma65]

So,what do you think of his group at 12 yards?

I thought it was pretty good

He's been practicing with his Glock .22LR,for awhile now.

He's been asking to try the 9,so after a few single shot mags,I let him try a few full mags.

Big mistake!
Now he wants a 9mm slide for his Glock.
Combat master,at that

And I got to share my ammo

Awesome !!!

how old is your son ?

I got 3 at home, I'm already buying/reloading more than I shoot for this reason

 

[Brianma65]

He 11, and been shooting for a couple of yrs now.
Only .22, but he's just starting with 9mm.

I'll probably wait a while longer ,before he gets his own Glock 9 slide.

 

[jimbo14]

Perfect!!!!

 

[beltfed]

What does it look like with his .22?

While I think it's great to start them young, and it's awesome you are letting him shoot some center-fire, I wouldn't be in a rush to graduate him to center-fire just yet.

 

[Brianma65]

His .22 group is about the same, but I find the Glock .22 LR isn't the most accurate.22.

I do agree ,that he's not 100% ready for venter fire ,just yet.

My CZ is much heavier than his Glock,as well.

I explained,that I could make some lighter reloads(mouse farts) lol
He said he was fine using what I already have.

I'll let him try mine for awhile longer, maybe pick up a Glock slide,next summer.

In that vein, if handling the recoil proves to be a problem/distraction for him, please be sure to change his grip asap. If his grip actually had his support hand doing some real work, instead of "going along for the ride" like in the pic, he may enjoy it more.

We aren't there though.

 

[Brianma65]

That pic was for show

I had him firmly grip the pistol with his right hand and a firmer grip with his support hand.

its not that he couldn't handle the recoil,but it was kinda surprising ???him though.

Also the CZ was quite heavier than his Glock.

Anyway,no rush, he'll get there.

And he loves shooting,we go to the range,two,three times a week.

You're lying. That isn't your son's group at 12 yards. That's mine at 5.

 

[Betty-Lou]

Raising 'em right, that's what I like to see!

 

[Brianma65]

He actually shoots the CZ better than the Glock.
Maybe it's the extra weight

More likely the single action trigger...

It's nice to see a father and son enjoying the sport together.

 

[Trinimon]

That's pretty awesome! Soon he'll be out shooting ya!

 

[Brianma65]

He should,he got a big head start on me. He started at 9, myself at 48.

Hopefully, one day ,we'll do a competition,together.

lol, better start saving up for his rig now.

 

[thechineseguy]

good job! he shoots better than a lot of adult first timers at 5 yards.

 

[Brianma65]

Yep,I think I'm going to have a huge advantage though, as he's a Glock fan...LOL JK

My grandson (11) recently shot a 3" 9mm group at 7 yards. I was very impressed but he said he was not trying very hard.

I suspect the kids have much better vision and sight pictures than we old farts do.
