      @@ErikCortinakids under 12 should get a handicap with a spotter next to him helping with corrections every shot. He was in a hurry, lots of pressure at that age. If his dad was next to him reminding to breath, stay focused and squeeze that trigger he would of had it. Reminds me of when I was that age, he’ll be a sharpshooter in no time.

      @@ErikCortina I wonder if it’s more related to nerves of the operator leading to racking the bolt incorrectly. That was one thing that happened to me. Even though there really isn’t anything on the line, we are timed (and we lose all sense of 2 minutes so most shooters default to panic/rush mode). You can see that from most of the shooters from all the videos. Plus let’s be honest- every one of us feels a little heat shooting in front of a multiple world champion. Maybe not everyone will admit that.

    That young lad inspires my hope in the next generation. Clear focused young lad, well mannered, humble, down to earth, respectful, extremely polite and well mannered. Real sportsmanship & a product of very good raising. That kid is liable to be the one making very wise choices in life years ahead of his peers...or hopefully that's what he and his peers are generally like.
    I tip my hat to the young man & to his parents. To hear so many people saying "Yes sir" is utterly brilliant.
    Then there's the other thing about great parenting...it's also about creating memories. The lad will have some serious life memories of having a go at a very challenging event with his father. THAT alone is solid gold, Father of the Year contender.
    Well done Erik too, very much as expected you treated the young lad like an equal contender.
    Respect shown, respect given back ten fold.
    This challenge just gets higher in my estimation.
    This is THE best TV Gameshow that's sadly not on TV. I bet there's a ton of people setting up the same targets at the same distance & trying it out. Thank Erik!!!
