In a couple hours I'm going to have a informal safety/gun familiarity session with the kids (12&14). Any tips and suggestions to get the understanding of safety. Also a basic understanding of how the gun works. I want to keep it fun so it sticks. I have a few ideas but can always use more, almost an improve syllabus.
I want to drill it in their head this evening then ask random questions during the drive, followed by of course more at the range. I'd like to go a little further then the 4 rules. I'm also thinking of having them field strip them and put them back together.
I went out and tried to find a cheap 22 but had no luck, looks like the Xdm 40 may be the first hand gun they shoot. I'm planning on getting there around 830 central to get some time with fundamentals with them.
(no "J" on the first wheel, otherwise someone would be the,owner come Saturday)
That's what Jedi needs for his coffee can.
So should I raise or lower the bottom piece. How is the gaps between the rifles?
Gaps look pretty good, I don't have bolt handles rubbing or anything.
If you made it shorter you'd interfere with the sight on mid leingth rifles, if you went higher you may run into problems with shorter guns not fitting.
So do you still need the extra 3 folding card tables?
Probably, these are fusil racks not pistole racks.

I have a Ruger Mark III [.22] and a S&W .22 revolver if you just want to use that for the intro for the kids. Let me know and I'll add them to my "guns I'm taking". I was not planning on taking either one.
OK next time crack the whip on lone HARDER so we get us some pistol racks as well.

Yes, if you can that'd great. What kind of 22 ammo, long rifle regular or magnum? I'll pick some up.
