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.


jdad - I know. I am fearing those teenage years. I just hope my son is like I was (so far, so good). I would rather spend time with my Dad than anything else. Ended up being a good thing, as he died when I was 16. I sure do miss him...jdad wrote:Ysabel,

If you want a 63 just make sure you get a Winchester, even a shooter like mine, instead of the Taurus copy. I have read too many reports of mechanical frustration and accuracy problems, from Taurus owners. The old "you get what you pay for" does apply.

"Smallbore" became too much like work, to him. "Fun" shooting, even at paper, is a different ballgame. Cycling a pump or lever is a whole lot more fun than focusing on all those things necessary to hit that tiny "X" ring.
Anyway, it's great to hear the young lad's out with his dad to the range again.Only TCGC-authorized targets and target holders may be used on all ranges.
