A November pumpkin massacer

Both my husband and I feel it's very important that our children understand how to safely and accuratly use firearms so we take them out and teach them shooting.  It helps that we both enjoy shooting guns and the kids LOVE it!

So as soon as Halloween was over we took out jack o lanterns to the shooting "range" and had a little fun.  Pumpkins make satisfying targets because you can see really well when you hit them.

All of the older kids are already fairly good shots and are doing well on safety.

me with a pump action shot gun

for some reason I love pump actions... they make me feel like Sara Conner!

after the first few shots

will the violence never end???

Eldest daughter is a great shot
