An Easter tradition at Chicken Ridge Orchard is the "Peep Sight Revenge."
I wouldn't recommend their consumption, post perforation.... Looks like fun, though! :---
Gotta love it. **) **) **)

Too cute, Coop! ;D
So fun!!! ..:.. Sheridan said, "Can we do that!?" But of course, we don't even have a range membership. So sadly, no.
This is even better than that contest the Pioneer Press had ;) Although.... maybe next year my family can build an Appleseed event with Peeps and enter that to build awareness. or we could do April 19, 1775 Peeps! O0
They did have some fun ones in the contest:

That's great! ;D
Great idea, will have to try that next year! We were limited to BB Guns this Easter so we used the plastic eggs for targets. They are nicely reactive!
Just when I thought you had a chance of NORMAL :D ...you post this. Harumph!! Po' widdle chicks.
Funny one Cooper. Took the AQT slayer to my in laws for Easter. Thought maybe some striped gophers would show their heads. Ended up having Zachery (nephew) shoot pop cans off the woodpile. He hasn't shot in a year...but still quotes verbatim the 4 safety rules and safe rifle mantra. Also remembered SHF for standing and made those pop cans jump.

That's great that he remembered after a year! I'm glad you're able to bring him out shooting. It's always more fun when you can shoot stuff that moves when you hit it, too ;)
Yeah....jumping reactive targets are fun. Got to say I was impressed....no dry firing practice,yet he did well. Even rememberef to take breaks during the firing to help steady in standing. ADHD kid, so his concentration was supetb.
He'll be at Hinckley with his Dad and a new shooter in May.

Maybe he will make rifleman! I'm glad we also have a new shooter going to Hinckley. O0
ADHD is in my family, too. I've done some research on it, and it actually brings some strengths to people. One strength is the ability to "hyperfocus." That's why there is no ADHD with a good video game, or something they are very interested in. ;) Scientists have actually found that ADHD traits are "positively selected" over time, so that means there are benefits for success and survival in life.
I've read some of Thom Hartmann's books, and he describes it as the "hunter" genetic (ADHD) vs. the "farmer" genetic ("normal"). Our society is geared to farmers, of course, and the schools are geared to girls, not boys. So lots of difficulty there for rambunctious boys. :D Their learning style is just different from girls. Here is a page that describes Thom Hartmann's theory. http://www.thomhartmann.com/articles/2007/11/thom-hartmanns-hunter-and-farmer-approach-addadhd
I'm pretty sure that my very successful ancestors who came over on the Mayflower, pioneered in the colonies, fought in the American Revolution, etc. had these "hunter" genetic traits (and passed them down to us). In that kind of environment they are helpful! But in modern society it's very different.

Actually, it was his 2nd try. First time out of the gate he was cross shooting targets...(which helped my score :) )LOL
Twas the 2nd time out when he did the deed. Coaching??? All AS instructors doing what we do. All I did was prep mags and keep him focused. And lots of encouragement of course. Good kid, and very interested in firearms. Kind of thinks he is an expert. Be forewarned.
