First I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for the informative posts, kindly pm's and genial atmosphere of the forum. Well the big brown truck came today so me and the boys took a break from house building and I let them open the box. Over the past couple of weeks we have been shooting and talking alot about gun safety. They also have been helping me sort wheel wts Ive been picking up- Charlie my 7 y/o has quite a good ear for checking them. We also have been going over the anatomy of a cartridge and the functions of the parts.I've told them what the lead was for and explained that we would soon be making bullets and reloading ammunition. Now they didnt know what all was in the box but they knew the stuff meant we' d be doing something. Generally as long as we are doing something together then they like whatever it is just fine.

Pard, you are doing it right. you and your sons are gonna have a lot of fun loading and shooting together.
Great to see the young ones smiling with reloading equipment in there hands! That reminds me of me and my pop when I was just a young lad. Don't let it fade away if ya can help it.
When my oldest was about 3 I took him to the hardware store with me to pick up some things. A gray haired fellow asked me, "Is he a good helper?". To which I replied " Well, he wants to help and trys". The fellow smiled and said, "I had sons, and when they were too little to do much they wanted nothing more than to be a help. When they got big enough to be actually helpful, they wanted nothing more than to find somewhere else to be". I know what's coming. It's been that way since the dawn of man I imagine. I guess all I can do is just try to do the best I can to teach them about God, instill a good work ethic, and how to take care of themselves and the family they'll hopefully someday have - while I still hold some sway over them. I guess that's what being a Dad is - doing the best you can while you are able.

Congratulations! My boy is 8 months and he gets so excited when my wife comes out to the workshop for a visit. I can't wait till I can teach him what I'm doing. I remember my first attempts at doing what my Daddy did. I got hold of some finishing nails and found some bark that I peeled off a rotted log. My dad came home to find me extremely frustrated that I wasn't having any luck on my project! My nails wouldn't hold. The wood was always splitting! That's when he got out some real boards and gave me my first hammer. Good memories!

Fine looking boys, I know they will be glad to help reload some ammo. Shooting is one of my 3 girls favorite things to do, We shoot reclaimed golf balls, They have alot of fun watching them bounce away.
No, not the best or the worst. Just trying to keep it between the ditches.@ USMC87 - I've never heard of shooting golf balls. What do you shoot 'em with and how many "lickens before they quit tickin'"? But most importantly, how do they taste?

That's great, psychicrhino, my boy loves to help me (if it's something he wants to do), and my little girl would love to, but she needs some time to grow yet. BUT, even at less than 2 she helps pick up brass!First things first... READ that Lyman manual, and then read it again SLOWER!
Then come here with your questions (you will have some).

Boolit Master Join DateJun 2007Posts511My daughter helped me by positioning subcaliber bullets for seating. She was three or four at the time and kept reminding me not to pinch her fingers. I never did, just my own. She is grown now and still remembers helping me and the tall bar stool she used to help me with.You may not post new threadsYou may not post repliesYou may not post attachmentsYou may not edit your postsForum RulesTake care
