Grandkid Max, soon to be 12, is from sunny SoCal (Redondo Beach) and has been staying with us for a month. I've been breaking him in on stuff a kid from RB doesn't get a chance to do.. one of them is shooting.
Started him on my Marlin Golden 39, then asked if he wanted to try a hand gun? "Oh, yeah!" Shot up a couple of boxes of 22 with the High Standard Victor. "Oh, this is a *lot* more fun than a rifle!" 
"Want to try a .357 Magnum?" "Dunno, that looks awfully powerful.." "Trust me, Max..."
I was out of boolits, so we (he) made up 50 starting loads for .357 Mag while I watched him like a hawk. 
This is no time for short attention span theater, Max...
The results? "WOW. I *LOVE* THIS DAN WESSON!"

Oh, yeah. I've taken him flying, too.. and got him a co pilot's seat on the 29 Ford tri motor.. I'd have peed my shorts with excitement when I was a kid..

That's what grand parents are for. Except for mine.. she was really old school. Kids are meant to be seen and not heard. 
Broke him in on a fly rod and cleaning fish yesterday.. oh, and some more reloading and

Chuck,
I wouldn't post your address because I believe allot of us would be showing up at your door! Sounds like you are creating memories your grandson will have for a lifetime and you're setting an example for the rest of us!
Thanks for sharing!
