Raising kids today to become independent humans of tomorrow
Alexis Nicole practices her pistol stance with papa. By the time she grows up, she will have one more skill that adds up with the others to an independent personhood.

A rifle so light, an 8 year old can run it.
And the same 8 year old was able to handle it unsupported as well. I.C.E.-designed AIR15 was quite a bit handier than her own M&P15-22.
Why have a light rifle?
To carry the balance of the weight in ammunition, of course! Volquartsen Ultralite .22 action in Blackhawk Axiom stock. The sight is a C-More attached sideways in a custom mount. Black Dog Machine drum with 50 rounds. And a Ruger 22/45 Lite … Continue reading
Three pounder in a field position
Just the solution for a small junior shooter: Volquartsen Ultralite .22 action in Blackhawk Axiom stock. Three pound rifle with a tele-stock. The sight is a C-More attached sideways in a custom mount.
Rapid fire with shotgun
Cheyenne Dalton is 14. How fast can she ran the updated Auto 5 shotgun and still hit clays? Pretty fast, I think. Good thing Crazy Quail launcher kept up… …and we brought plenty of ammunition.

Have you shared your knowledge lately?
Modern armies have 30 or so support staff for every fighter at the tip of the spear. The ratio of support to active fighters in the war to secure individual liberty is even more skewed. For every Alan Gura, thousands … Continue reading

Another killer ape!
A very precocious child.
Recoil is relative.
Dan Coonan is very fond of saying that shooting his gun is an experience. It does have more muzzle flash and recoil and muzzle rise than a typical wonder-9. Actress Morrigan Sanders, age 16, doesn’t usually shoot Coonans. But not because … Continue reading

Left-handed Rock River AR15 in use
Works pretty well for the kind of lefties I like. Tech details.

Her daddy’s rifle
Some girls run off with dad’s car keys. This one borrowed his M1A instead. She’s a junior Appleseed instructor already at age 18.
Old photos of Bullseye Brookie
These are from 2011, when Brookie was 13. Bottom rifle is her own custom built 6.8mm, the top is a custom 5.56mm Doublestar.

You can always tell an AR15 shooter…
…by how high they place the heel of the stock. .223 Ruger M77 left-hand with 3-9x Trijicon Accupoint. I had a chance to shoot this combination yesterday at 150 yards with only a small branch for support: it worked great. … Continue reading
A child being seen but not heard
Smith & Wesson M&P22 with a Gemtech Outback 2. Shirts from ENDO.
Visiting with friends in Knoxville
One of the kids here brought out her own rifle to show it. The girl is nine and the runt of her age group, but it turns out that the AR15 is neither too heavy nor too complicated for her … Continue reading

Just got back from Pennsylvania
Spent a week with Crickett Rifle company, have many new photos. They also have a very interesting new product in the works to be announced later this year, a logical extension of their expertise in precision manufacturing.

Two signs of well-involved parents
Personal firearms (and training in their use), and braces. Both give kids a cause for smiling. Remington 870 Youth 20ga in pink camo. Around here, it actually fits pretty well with faded yellowish grass.

Upgrading the PSL
Romanian PSL is a decent way to launch 7.62x54R without punishing recoil. For a 13 year old marksman, that’s an important consideration. Sure, she’s fired 338 Lapua Mag rifles last year, but they were heavy, set up on a bipod … Continue reading
