So my Son came over yesturday to hang out. He wanted to shoot airguns. Cool, I havent been able to get him to try before. He set up the shotgun shells, wine corks, and a bunch of Army men. I gave him a quick 'how to' lesson and we were off.Both guns are very very accurate. I couldn't believe he was nailing the targets one by one! Standing, freehand!
I told him he was doing great. I was nailing them too, but he was a beginner. Then I get the challenge
"Lets see who can get the most without missing," I smiled and we set up 10 targets each- side by side. 2 shotgun shells, 4 Army men, and 4 corks. We loaded up and I was thinking, "sucker" We started blasing away. I get 8, he got 10. I got 10, he got 7. I get 6, he got 9. I got 10, he got 10 first!!
WHAT THE HECK?
He used the Bone Collector, I used the Quest 800X. I got pounded. I was proud and all but man, how did he do that?

Sounds like you two had a plinkin' good time.
Good job letting him win so that he will have to come back again soon for a re-match.

Yea, I used to let my kid win at things also, baseball, soccer, tennis, whatever. Problem is, he just kept winning. So much for fair play!
