WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

I had gun range birthday parties. Then again, my Dad was a range instructor and we didn't get away with ANYTHING.

I learned to shoot a gun when I was about 7 years old. Hasn't Chuck E. Cheese been doing this already?

Well, if you're on the Australian Olympic Swim Team you could land in a world of hurt.

and those without a guardian present may take advantage of the on-site range safety officers for supervision

So, we have 8 year olds at a gun range without a guardian present?

I picture a Bill Murray range supervisor shouting at the out-of-control kids:

"HEY, HEY, ..be CAREFUL ! You could poke somebodies eye out..."

Pin the .22 on the target. Cool.

I'd be worried also if they gave the birthday kid free
ammo also! Maybe this explains Mr. Cheney's delight in
uh...hunting trips....

I've handled guns since that age or lower, and I've trained kids, and I've taken fully grown, visiting Japanese auto industry managers out to the range to experience what they can't at home ... and I'll take the kids any day, even if the auto guys did call me "Sensei."

You can call me anything you want, just point that damn thing DOWNRANGE!

We can all sing that new kids party game-song:

Pop! Off'd the weasel....

Me and every one of my friends were taught to shoot at 6 or 7 by our dads. They'd give us boxes of .22s which were dirt cheap and we'd spend hours plinking away at tin cans. There were dire consequences for inaccuracy too: "OK, whoever is furthest from the Campbell's gold seal, has to kiss Sally Johnson on the lips."
