1st outing with my boys

Weather was finally nice enough to play outside.
I recently re-sealed a vintage (1969) 1st variant Crosman 760 Powermaster. Picked it up to educate my boys on the inner workings and kickoff point for Hunter safety. After the re-seal and overall cleaning I wanted to sight in the gun, so the boys had a shot and hitting some targets. My goal was to show the boys shooting is not like a video game... It takes time and practice. The old gun shot better than I had hoped.
All targets were shot free standing at 30ft with iron sights and BB's. The boys took a number of more shots than I did, but a good start for them. They are both signed up for Hunter safety next weekend.
Here's our results.

Looks like some good quality family time. I had my oldest son out today as well with his new 2400kt. Was a bit cold for the co2, but he enjoyed shooting my prod until the weather warms up.
