Considering taking my 8 year old to the Appleseed class in Waco next month. Anyone comments on the class or taking someone that young? He's a responsible shooter, but he is still 8.

Based on the Appleseed shoots I have been to, he will fit right in and be welcomed by everyone.  They love young shooters as long as they are old enough to understand gun safety.  I cannot wait until my 2 year old and 6 month old are old enough to go.  I have never seen a kid leave an Appleseed shoot without a huge grin on his/her face.

perfect age (both him and you!)

take GOOD ground mat and elbow pads if he has them. the volley ball type not the skate board type. also don't forget your slings.

I don't know. Texas is a long way off just to go shoot...

I whole heartily agree to take him.

I went and brought back a lot of teachables for my kids. Wish I could get schedules right to take my 14 year old and 11 year old. The others will have to wait a little while.

BTW I am teaching my 8 year daughter all of the techniques from Appleseed for her 4H BB gun safety class and she may very well win a spot on the competition team now with her great shooting.
