He can compromise with his mother; She can remain gun free and he can get a rifle. They both get their wish. Middle photo; it's something I tell all new shooters, multiple times. "Bring the buttstock up to your face, not your face down to the buttstock. It should be comfortable and natural" and "You're backing away from the gun. Instead come forward. Lean into it. Put your weight forward." If he were firing a heavy recoiling gun, he'd be taking several steps backward, or falling, after the shot they way he's positioned. Nice going!

They have trap, skeet, sporting clays, and 5 stand. http://www.bistatesportsmens.com/Enter.html Not sure about rifle/pistol ranges in that area though. Good job, Sebastian.

I find I have to slide my support hand back and hit it with my thumb. An ambi mag release would be nice. Sounds like he’s in the same boat as me with parents who don’t like guns.
