I remember reading this years ago. The thing that stuck out most was the part about the boy's dad giving him 2 cartridges to hunt with. He either brought back both cartridges or some meat or got a whoopin. I told my grandson about that one not too long ago.

Knew of a family raised back in the 30's and 40's that were basically told the same thing..if they shot they had better bring back the animal to eat ..

NO pressure there..

Common old values attitude. Especially for kids. Give them one .22 RF cartridge. Come back with a rabbit.

Teach them right. Shoot well. Eat what you shoot. None of this spray and pray BS.

Really good to start a kid off with a single shot open sights .22 RF. Learn to stalk, hunt, conserve, shoot. With something basic.

When 15 I took out a school friend with a crappy Stirling semi auto scoped .22 RF. He would shoot the whole 15 round magazine at a rabbit and never hit anything.
