Took my girls out shooting last weekend and made them take out the bolt to check the barrel before shooting. I think this thread inspired me to place emphasis on safety. It meant more to them actually doing it even though they were taught (Be sure the barrel is free of obstructions!) in Hunters Safety. Giving them some examples of what an obstruction could actually be and what a clean barrel should look like. Then we shot up a 100 rounds at splat silhouettes, rubber gophers and spinners. Tomorrow my adult son is bringing his Mosin 91/30 over to shoot for the first time should be a hoot.
