We go to my club's indoor rimfire range loaded with targets and 1000 rounds. (just to be safe.
) He shoots several full mag tube out of every rifle, then decides that the 61 pump was his favorite. 320 rounds later he says that he's hungry, so we pack up. He admitted that he had fun! 
14 years old and he enjoyed spending time with his old man. Outstanding!He actually shot his best 10 shot group with the 63 (photo). The 39A was just a little too bulky for him still. I hope the seed has been replanted.
comes to mind. congrats.
But give him a choice between the video games the real shooting, and he will jump at the latter every time. We were supposed to go today, but ended up working all day on his Cub Scout stuff. To me, as long as it was time with him, it was almost as good as taking him shooting!
Of course, some places don't allow fun targets and that really is detrimental to the sport since kids don't care much for mere paper punching as a rule. Shucks, my dad learned out back of the house as a kid, shooting at empty 22 shells. He was a crack shot 'til he passed on a few years back. My own time with a pellet rifle, pebbles and other targets of opportunity have stood me in good stead over the years as well.
