Great to see! The wood in that 20 DHE looks very similar to one of mine.

I do a lot of youth teaching , here and at BSA camp. Kids seldom have enough arm strength to hold the gun up and lean forward. You teach proper form but after some few shots they lean back to brace the gun up. So I don’t sweat the small stuff, the optimal form , and concentrate on the target and hitting it. Form will follow. Small gauge , small recoil , close to the trap house and have fun .

His second box, he ran 19/25.

No.

Grumman Tiger . He has already flown my Tiger , a Cessna 170 and a Cessna 172.
He thinks stalls are fun.

The shooting is one thing. We all teach our kids to shoot. The flying is a whole nother thing!
My Dad was a pilot, and I got a little bit of seat time. I understand how big a deal this is.
