My six year old daughter came to me with a couple squirt guns to "shoot badguys". We start shooting and she is going "Bangbangbangbangbangbang" and basically spraying and praying.
Cool! I get to do some teaching. :celebrateI teach herto be sure of her target and what is behind it. I teach her to have a proper grip and stance and to use her sights. We practice yelling "STOP or I'll shoot!" in a commanding voice. She learns that if the badguy isobeying your commandsor backing away - he is not a threat so you can't shoot him (very important). We practice keeping the threat covered while keeping our finger of the triggerand tokeep a lookout for other threats. We practice shooting center mass and the very important difference between concealment and cover and how to use both.
Quality time at it's best.
By the way, while I was typing this she was "practicing karate" and kicking the crap out of a cardboard box "badguy".
