Yes, I was very happy to have shared this day with them both and we had fun shooting and laughing together. I think my wife might change her mind after watching the video later.

Is it appropriate to post video of my family shooting airguns on targets only (not hunting)?
- Thread starter Max115
- Start date
Young adult and teenage. I had them dressed appropriately with jacket zipped up, lol. I did plan ahead and avoid any thing that might look inappropriate in my opinion.

I agree 100%. I thought them how to handle firearms and the safety and danger with these "tools". I rather to have them exposed to firearm from me then from one of them dumb friends.

Yup. Hence having the wife's permission is the right thing to do. Otherwise, I might be in the dog house. LOL.

I see no problem with videos of your girls shooting, learning to do so responsibly and having fun with it. In my part of the country it’s very common. There are places where viewers, if they even watch ‘gun’ videos will be horrorfide at the sight of children using a gun. We learned early, like age 7, to shoot Dads 22 and NEVER touch it if he wasn’t right there. So far none of us or the whole next generation has committed murder, robbed a convenience store or shot up a bar. If more kids see what you are doing with yours maybe some of the current insanity/stupidity will dial back a bit.

Alex,
I'm finding out over the years what a great guy you really are:
From sharing missed shots, stupid errors, to asking what's appropriate for your family, and making sure to get support from your wife first instead of playing the macho card.
My personal opinion is that the internet is an open space, a very open space, and anybody has access to it.
So, I feel that privacy is an important value and I try to protect this value to a point that seems reasonable. Now, if there are female minors involved, this seems to be even more important....
I'm thinking, your kids grow up, go the college, get a job, find a mate — would they like it that personal family memories are out there for the whole world to see?
(Maybe now they don't care, maybe some day they will, and maybe... — that fact that I'm even wondering about these things will date my birthday close to the middle of the last century
!)
Another thought: Do you have the opportunity to remove unwanted comments from your Youtube channel without much hassle?
Will their names be protected so this video won't come up if one searches for their name?
You're on a good track. More power to you!
Matthias

Thanks Rick. Yes, I rather the kids learned from me than know nothing about gun safety at all.

Hi Matthias, thank you for your kind words. I watched many times over with this video and I didn't see anything that would post any negative values, but that was just my opinion. What matter is my wife's take on this one. Hopefully she will watch the video tomorrow after her jet lag and decide.Alex,

Well, wife said it was okay to release this video.
It will be posted tomorrow on a new topic. "Plinking with my daughters."
It is 32 mins long, so skip along if you don't have the patience to watch it all.
Thanks.
