Howdy,
I just registered, on account of your site having the weekly online target shoot.
Heres a little about "why".

I recently gave my 9 yr old son his first pellet rifle. A Ruger (Umarex) Explorer .177 cal.
I also built him a railroad tie backstop, out back , and I am always looking for things to keep him intersted in plinking.
Like lately Ive been hotglueing gumballs to a board, (and lay it flat) and when he hits them they really shatter.
Anyhow, I myself have military range training, along with some Cowboy Action shooting and trap , and skeet. But life is too busy these days and I havent done any of these , for quite a few years.
But, because of my range time, I instill SAFETY, FIRST , LAST , and ALWAYS in him.!
I dont want any mishaps in his future.
But, back to the FUN.
This has really been helping me to get him outside, and off the video games.
And just last night , I started a little competition between him and I.
To sort of keep the interest. Its a weekly bet, to see which one of us can hit a gumball first.
But we are only allowed 1 shot, and it has to be the first shot of the day.

Then I found your site today.
How perfect !!!
As winter will be here soon, and we do have a shop that will allow a 10 meter range.

So, heres my question to you. As I am doing this for him.
Can I register him ? so we both can do the weekly targets?
or
Can I just let him do the targets under this/my, username. (whereas , I wont be able to join in)

I would really like to take part too, but, I want to give him something to keep the interest .

I appreciate your time. and will be awaiting your reply.
He would be so excited, and I for him.

Sincerely,
Dusty
