So 4 weeks ago I got CJ (my 10 y.o.) involved in shooting .22 target rifles. These aren't your typical run of the mill .22, these are single shot, bolt action, professional grade, Anschutz rifles. He's shooting prone, from 50 feet (about 16-17 meters for those of you from Canuckistan) with open sights (which means no scope). to give you an idea of the size of these targets they are roughly 1-1/2 in diameter (38.1 mm, again for the Canuckistani's). You can't even see where your hitting till you pull your target. The two center targets don't get scored, you have three practice shots to take at the center two targets.
