Our youngest could recite the 4 main rules of spoon safety so he got to shoot sissy's Red Ryder and a little Daisy hand spoon. The only way the hand spoon would put your eye out is if you poked yourself with the barrel. He was excited to hit his target, but we were pretty close. He also had some issues with his shooting glasses and we had to use the ear protection to keep them on. They did not adjust short enough for him.
She decided to try my 6" S&W Model 28-2 with .38 special. It came with the Pachmayr grips instead of the traditional wood. She didn't think they were as comfortable as the Double Nine but thought they mitigated recoil well. The Double Nine has more curve and are smaller, more like a Ruger.
It was a good day. Unfortunately we lost them all when the boat capsized on the way back from the dump.
