Neighbor boy is a natural!!

[davelarson]

I’ve hired Dominick to help me with some of my shop work and we have had three shooting sessions so far after work is done.
He’s a natural! He had only shot BB guns and air soft guns, and look how good he did with the P17 at 10 yards!
He is already hooked on it, and I gave him the P17 with the pistol scope as his own gun. I asked his mom first of course!
He’s had a very difficult life, father in prison for domestic violence and much worse.
He is a pretty serious kid, but a shooting session takes him away from the crap for awhile.
He’s spending yesterday’s pay on fireworks lol! So I gave him a fist full of quarters to help make the bag bigger.
Remember those days, waiting for the firecracker stand to open? Magic time lol!

Give Dominick a pat on the back for me.

Good on you for looking out for that young man!

Great shooting And you are a great neighbor

 

[cwcarrera]

Every kid 'at risk ' should be so lucky to have a neighbor like you! Good for you, stepping up to be the solid role model he needs.

Awesome stuff from him and yourself!

 

[L.Leon]

You're a generous, lucky man to be able to pass on good values and skills to this young man... God bless and good luck.

 

[Mrmetals]

And running with a guy like you will last him a life time. You are both blessed.

 

[Jasonmc]

very good! Obviously the youngster has experienced a negative male role model... through you he's seeing a positive role model... teaching him to work for he wants.. gun safety as well as teaching him to shoot and be a responsible gun owner..
Good man!!

Thanks guys, it is really rewarding to be able to help him out.
I’m going to figure out what rifle to get him. He’s a good kid and definitely deserves a break.
Any suggestions on what rifle I could pick?
I’m thinking about a Diana Chaser pistol rifle combo.
Does anyone know of a pump up or C02 rifle that’s as accurate as the P17 pistol?
They are incredibly accurate and I don’t want Dominick to be disappointed with a rifle that’s not as accurate as the pistol lol! Thanks for sharing any advice on the subject.

How about this? Turn down the power to 600 - 800 fps and I think the shot count would be quite high.

OR

Both are reasonably priced and should have high shot counts. Good job Sir, good job.

Thanks Doug! Dominick will be blown away.
It will be good for him to see strangers being kind!
I’ll show him the pictures you sent me when he comes back to work.
