He's getting the rifle for Christmas. He's been so wound up about shooting bows with me that he has forgotten about it now. He's getting said rifle and thats all there is to it. My inlaws can shove off for all I care. Except for my grandaddy in law, he learned to shoot at the age of four. Says he could drill the cap off a snuff can from 50 yards back then. Anyway, he is our boy to raise and thats what we are doing. Thanks for the support everyone.
