Eldest with Pellet Gun {Spcie Up Your Homeschool}

{Spice Up Your Homeschool} PE: Pellet Guns

This post has been scheduled for over 2 months, just so you know. We also feel that proper gun safety and usage is a key component to raising responsible adults. Guns and weapons on are the cusp of controversy among many families not just the homeschool community. I realize this may be a sensitive issue, but please remember there are many people who use guns and arrows as a source for food.

I know adults who flinch at the site of any weapon even a water pistol nevertheless a pellet gun. My husband took point on this activity with regards to setting up a safe area to shoot in our backyard. We went over safety precautions, rules, and what equipment is REQUIRED to be worn each and EVERY time the pellet gun is in use.

Do not think pellet guns are just for boys. Princess enjoys shooting just as much as Eldest. Lil’ Red will have to wait until ODNR Skills Day next September to have a chance to shoot again. (This event was sponsored by trained and certified professionals in a controlled environment for learning and safety exploration.)

What are the benefits of owning or using a pellet gun?

Well, a huge list of great skills but here’s just a few of them. First and foremost SAFETY and responsibility. Teaching proper use of any tool or equipment foster a great sense of pride and allows the child to take responsibility for his/her actions. Second, hand/eye coordination which is important for writing and doing well in school and life.

Does your local Natural Resource office offer classes for hunter safety that your child might like? What about learning shooting skills for a 4-H project? Do you know of people who hunt for food? What great opportunities to talk with your children about proper gun care and use.
