Our range has a lot of family activity and I seldom see a bolt action .22 or single shot .22 rifles. 90% plus I can say I see a 10-22 semi auto with a large scope mounted on it and the rifle is on a solid rest and the kids shoot those 10-22's like I did the M-60 but I kept the busts at 5 rounds they empty the mag before lifting their heads.
They just don't learn how to use the barrel sights or proper handling the rifle that kids learned using a single shot .22 walking the woods or crick banks hunting or shooting sticks floating in the crick or when the carp are spawning and jumping above the water
But then Kids don't have the freedom like I had at age 12-13 to walk the neighbors fields on my own doing this.
