- God made man, Sam Colt made him equal! If you own a firearm, it is your responsibility to learn proper gun handling techniques and safety. Teach your family how to shoot to become familiar , confident and not just curious. To have a gun for self protection but lose a family member because of neglect is a real tragedy.
Thank you, another great vid. Yet again you triggered memories of my childhood. The values you and your family clearly have are rare nowadays. It is refreshing and encouraging. Good Day !!!
It feels quite good watching these family moments outdoor and teaching your children important things. I never had that, and I know a lot of others who didn't as well. You come off as a very good man.
Even though I have been around and worked with weapons since childhood. I still watch safety video's and enjoy them. the training never ends, That child will grow up to be a good man.
A few suggestions for teaching kids/new shooters. 1) practice procedures of checking safe, administrative load & unload, charging, and shooting a few days ahead of time, in a quiet place. Repeat (small chunks better than 1 long lesson) until they have it internalized. 2) First time with live fire, give them 1 cartridge to start. If they get excited, scared, whatever, at least they can't let a 2nd unsafe shot fly. 3) Once they have that down, move up in complexity. Hope it helps, stay safe.
The biggest tip I give to other about introducing kids to firearms, other than basic safety, is to shoot reactive targets. Paper targets can be very boring even for us adults. Allowing kids to plink cans adds a whole new level of fun to the experience. When they see that can spin thru the air, you'll see a grin every time.
Excellent advice. I took the hunters safety course to be able to hunt, and would suggest everyone take that, even if they aren't going to hunt. It's great for youngsters too. They drill muzzle control into you.
Well said. That is the most important. Enjoyed the whole video. Take time and teach... excellent. Kids are so curious. Take time and use repetition with instructing.
What an adorable boy.
Awesome!.....my 7yr old is right beside me watching this...and he wants to shoot but I want him to understand it is safety First!....Great video!...great job!
That's a smart way to do it. When a child can see what they'll do, they get a healthy respect for a firearm. Thanks~
Great video. Outstanding safety points! You covered the most crucial points very professionally and very thoroughly.
Great quote too, one of my favorites.
Al Capone said "you'll find you get further with a smile, a kind word and a gun, than just a smile and a kind word."
Not the friendliest of expressions, but accurate.
he is not tired if you notice when he brings his arms down its bc the slide hits his thumb but he doesn't want to tell them it did
This is a very good video to beginners to shooting. And ***** I suggest you again give your son some safety glasses as any object may hit him and cause injuries. Keep up the awesome videos!
ah yes the "equalizer" (refering to the firearm that could be fired by basically anyone) was first brought around by Sammuel Colt. great vid man keep em coming!!!
Once the P22 was out of ammo when little sootch was shooting it you will notice him anticipate the shot, dropping the muzzle when he attempted to fire. This needs to be corrected. Try doing some drills with dummy rounds loaded in the mag. It makes it very evident that you're anticipating the shot.
Great video, and I'm glad to see you out there teaching your boy.
Best clearly spoken video out there. I heard others that ramble on with tooooo much personal opinion soap box crap added inn. Thank you for nice vid. I can show this too my own children and go through it with them..
I taught my son to shoot using a 22 rifle and a watermellon. I wanted him to graphically see what happens when a bullet strikes a human body, and that it is no toy. Later, he went on to become a marksman rifleman in the Marine Corps. 5 stars on the vid.
I think that's a great way to teach the kid responsibility.
I like the videos you do about shooting (versus just about the gun itself). Could you do one about sighting in a handgun with adjustable sights? Thanks.
i do the same...take them to range and shoot water bottles
i agree with nev3w teaching kids is good to let them see what is a firearm and what they can do and what they are
constant practice will make them to develop safe firearm usage
Great vid Sootch. I made a gun safety vid last week for the ladies but haven't posted it yet. Wanted to use a movie maker to break it up a bit , just haven't had time ti get to it. Tell your son Great JOB!
I don't have a gun and maybe I'll never own one. Still, I've been teaching my oldest son gun safety using his water pistol and toy revolver. I also make him teach these rules to everybody he plays with if they play with gun-like toys. The results are already showing. Sometimes I need to remind him but most of the time he gets it right :)
Once again, sootch00, very nice video. I agree completely with the whole gun safety at a young age thing. That's what my dad did with me and that is what I plan on doing when I have kids. 5 stars
My friend actually did a backward unload. He cleared the chamber and then dropped the magazine. Doing a backward unload leaves a round in the chamber. The only thing he did right was keeping it pointed in the safest direction. He went to dry fire the gun and BOOM. He shot a round threw the floor of his single storey house. Down isnt always the safest direction. In this case it was. There was 6 people in the house at the time. No one was hurt because the gun was pointed in the safest direction.
thank you for teaching gun safety to the little boy!!!!!!!!
as I say to anyone who supports the troops, thank you very much. I am a junior in high school but the day I turn 18 I am enlisting in the Marine Corps. Semper Fi.
that is a good way to teach a kid how to shoot. nice vid man.
Safety first, good parenting, show kids to handle guns safely and respectfully
with the right teach and discipline and alway SAFETY i support this and when my kids get to 8 9 or even 10 they will start shooting.. you can hind guns drom a chuld cause it makes them want to find it and mess with it but gettin a child informes about them makes a great chance
for less mistakes
The only issues I can see are the lack of eye protection, and the fingers on his left hand get pretty close to the action on the rifle. But over all A GREAT JOB!
Thanks for making these amazing videos man:) your a good man and God bless you :)
Excellent!
Good video. I think firearm safety/handling should be a part of schooling on a yearly basis just to make sure. Even if they never touch a gun outside of that. I bet you a lot of people are cringing at the sight of a child with a gun.
Good stuff, kids shouldnt be afraid of guns or curious becuase if theyere curious shit will happen
I am a gun support, don't own one as yet. I agree with safety to it fullest. But the mental ablity to tell the difference between right and wrong is something comes with age. if one choose to show his/her kid please please know what you are getting your self into...... and yes i would tell my kids to protect your life use the weapon. This must be a difficult decision either way.
Good video, although even with the action/slide open- looking down the barrels not a good practice; the only time this may be done is when the firearm is disassembled for cleaning. Otherwise I like to see fathers spending quality time with their children.
that kid has excellent finger off the trigger control.
Great video.
thats some good advice, nice going.
@3:15 I STILL refuse to inspect my barrel by looking into the gun, lol I will take it apart and look in if I need to inspect the barrel. Maybe after years of experience I will be comfortable with it, but I just can't bring myself to look into the barrel of an assembled gun! :)
Yep me too. There is no way in hell... haha
OK you forgot the safety glasses in the first video, but then we get to the second, then the third, then the fourth.... OMG put some safety glasses on that kid.
As a safety video, this one is 1/2 way there.
haha your quite right!! ill have to repost my firearm reviews on this account.
(Read below) After my friend accidentally shot a hloe threw the floor. Realising everyone was safe, his dad asked did u shot the hole in the right spot so i can run a cable? They had a laugh but this is not a laughing matter. Keeping guns pointed in the safest possibe direction at all times is a life saver. Even if the gun is empty always keep it pointed in the safest possible direction. ALWAYS practice safe habits. Shoot safe, often and teach the kids.
i don't wear eye protection, keep your eye away from the eject hole. i have shot guns for 10
years so i got experience
I was taught how to use a gun safely. I mostly shoot a henry .22 lever action rifle
I love your videos :) God bless you:)
Your right
of course it is
Be careful of the thumb behind the slide
Get some glasses and a ball cap on him!
Pretty good! For his age !!!!!
One thing he missed in this gun safety training. ...always wear eye protector
also there are very good vids on positioning for firing on youtube look those up
I would rather my kid respect and fear guns than be in ignorance of them and have an accident when they are getting curious.
Don't pit your finger on the trigger unless your ready to shoot is what I was taught first about guns.
i loved shootin when i was in army cadeites
I really wanna shoot a handgun, I'm 13. I don't wanna use a big recoil weapon
hey dont point it at me!
MY DADS A COP
man i also used that pistol and followed everything but almost shot a cop while practicing
I love how it's all about safety yet he has no eye protection. Still. Cool kid, PLEASE don't let him wear any more crocs...Talk about an abomination.
'its not survival of the fittest. its for those who think...'
yeah three cheers for 'those who think'. hip hip hooray!
how old is he??
Are they using these weapons in a threatening way? Exactly. So shut up with your negative comments.
is that a real gun
My dad would not trust me with a gun wat so ever
This video is an excellent example of a child too young to be shooting, and what happens when they do. Muzzle direction chaos. Basically a kid under 15yrs old, in my opinion cannot possibly adhere to muzzle discipline. All it would take is a bee sting, or just the need to scratch an itch, and that gun will be pointed in all kinds of wild directions and at people. The guy standing behind the kid offers little safety, because these things happen in a fraction of a second. You see the kid point the muzzle directly up for a fraction of a second, etc. At this young age they just don't have the maturity to understand OR perform muzzle discipline.
James Coffman I just watched parts of this vid again to refresh my memory. This kid was too tired to be shooting, and could barely pull the trigger. There's no way that's safe. One slip or muzzle direction screw-up and somebody could have died in a millisecond.
In one segment the father even asks the kid why he can't hold the gun up, and asks the kid if he's tired, and ignores the "yes" answer, and goes on. WTF. This ain't basic training.
i first shot at 9. never had any issues, parents just need to raise their kids right to be responcible
I'm sorry that your country doesn't trust you to protect yourself and family.
is he blind yet or did you get him some eyes to wear hint hint.ball cap eyes ears and safe say no to hot brass.
you never look don a barel
you know ear protection is important but your child needs to take off the protection because what if he is not used to hereing gun shots he'll freakout
Reeeee!
At 8:37 tragedy almost occur!!!
with the right teach and discipline and alway SAFETY i support this and when my kids get to 8 9 or even 10 they will start shooting.. you can hind guns drom a chuld cause it makes them want to find it and mess with it but gettin a child informes about them makes a great chance
for less mistakes
