Just remember, a gun is a tool. It doesn't have a mind of it's own. It's only as dangerous as the person using it. A hammer or an ax are just as deadly if mishandled or in the hands of the wrong person. As long as you follow the 4 rules of gun safety, there is no reason why you would ever get hurt or hurt anyone else with a gun.

I agree, to the point that I believe good advice to first time shooters to approach it that way, and use a firm grip on the gun, as you would with a hammer or wrench. If you hold it fearfully, your grip will either be too gingerly, or too tight, which can lead to problems. It's almost like a strange dog, if you approach with an air of confidence, things should go fairly well, but if you act fearful, you can run into problems. And a nice, solid grip actually helps breed confidence, because you can control it.

completely disagree with the comparison to a hammer or an ax. using a hammer or ax is something very personal because you have to physically hit someone with it. it takes a lot more "guts" to do something like that. a gun is so easy to use. you can be far away and just aim and shoot. it's so impersonal. you can't really compare them to a hammer and ax. yes they can all kill/maim someone. but they aren't the same. imo

The Beesleys are awesome and they did a perfect video of what it is like to go to a shooting range. They showed and talked about the different types of guns they were going to shoot and what they would like to try on a later date. They were in a controlled environment. They wore their proper safety equipment. And best of all, by showing the instructor, they showed that they still had someone with experience by their side to make sure they were safe. They didn't act like they were in John Wick. They showed how to respect the weapons. They showed how they were conscious of others around them. Definitely an experience I recommend to everyone that visits the states.

It is understandable that anyone would be timid/shy about using a firearm when they've never used one before. I grew up with them (hunting and plinking) and took safety classes when I was 12 even tho' I'd shot a .22 when I was 5yrs old. (under supervision of course) Even all these years later I'm 60 now, I still have a sense of healthy caution whenever I'm around firearms. There's always a safety instructor right around you. They will be there to answer any questions at any moment and to give safety corrections when needed. You'll be just fine.

I've asked the Beesleys if they'd be okay for others to react to their American vlogs. Good news there, they allow that. Plus, overall, their good people!

Most of us kids that grew up in the country learned to shoot at a very early age. We start with the BB gun and worked our way up to .22, after my .22 rifle, I went to a 20 gauge shotgun, then to the 12gauge. (Shotgun is where the fun is) skeet shooting. then for me, it was a 7mm mag. I loved the 7mm magnum. but I was pheasant hunting on my own (no adult with me) with a shotgun when I was 12. So here, most kids that would be shooting, already have been shooting. That said, Ranges have different rules depending on the range. Some ranges allow kids on the range as early as 8 years old. Others require them to be at least 10 or 12, and more strict ranges require people to be 21 years of age or older. What a lot of ranges fail to understand is (in my opinion) it is never about age, but a level of maturity.

I grew up in rural West Virginia back in the 60's and 70's. I fired my first gun at 6 years old, it was a 12 gauge shotgun that was a good bit taller than I was. Hunting was more than a sport for us, sometimes it was the difference in having something to eat or not. Guns are second nature to me, I always marvel at the fear and awe Europeans show towards guns but I guess I would be the same if I didn't grow up around them.

Always interesting to see adults being nervous to shoot for the first time. I never understood the being nervous about using firearms thing.Growing up here in Arizona in the 1980's we learned to use firearms young (six-seven years old). I also started at six years old as well. It was something to be excited about not apprehensive with using. Even as a child we were thrilled to get to use a firearm for the first time. Practically every household here has firearms.Giant suburb neighborhoods of hundreds of thousands of houses with firearms.Families go plinking/target practice and hunting on the weekends. I don't think I know anyone that does not have firearms or grew up shooting since a very young age. It seems about as common place as having and riding bicycles as kids. I remember all the way back to elementary school in the 80's. Back then my fellow classmates would talk about the firearms they have and use. No one was nervous about using them,it was never scary.We were not fearful but we did always respect the firearms. They are fun not scary and enjoyment to use from our childhoods onward.

You have to remember you have a range boss/instructor in the room with you that is watching everyone there. The Beasleys are not showing him. In some shot you can see him. I am a 67 year old woman and I have a rifle and a pistol. My husband was in the military for 23 years and he now for fun is a range boss at our local gun range.

Pro tip- Long sleeve shirts and pants that go over your shoes will help prevent hot shells from getting into places you don't want them. I caught a shell down the back of my shirt once.

Many of them think we don't already have mandatory background checks, and that anyone, even a child, could just walk in and buy any gun they wanted, including machine guns. Unfortunately, common sense ain't common, and most people just listen to the mainstream media, which is mostly lies and propaganda to scare and divide us into giving up our rights. In reality, we already have far more laws and restrictions than the constitution is supposed to allow, most of which are completely arbitrary and nonsensical. Some actually makes things far worse, like gun-free zones, which are just an invitation for despicable people. We don't need more gun control laws, we need laws to be enforced, and people held accountable. Also, more focus on mental health, particularly for men. But the way society treats men and their issues, which is actually one of the main problems, probably makes that unlikely.

Im sure they sat thru a training session prior to going in the range room... and the guy is always there watching and ready if needed, in a few spots you can see him behind them.

Most of the world does not understand our gun culture. And most of the world forgets about how we were founded. We won our freedom by using guns that we OWNED. The men who wrote our Constitution took the way we were treated by the British to heart and the result was our Bill of Rights. I was first taught how to shoot a gun at the age of 10 by my Dad, who was a police officer. Before he handed me the loaded gun he made clear what all the safety rules were. After we were done, he also taught how to clean and care for the gun. At the time he was working 175 miles from where the family lived, so he would only come up on the weekends. Every weekend we would go shooting. Children are usually allowed at shooting ranges in the U.S., but they must be accompanied by an adult if they are under the age of 18. You can bring your own guns to the range, or you can use the range's gun. The one I used to go to did not charge you to use their guns, but you had to pay for the ammunition.

There are plenty of places where you can sign up for a basic firearms course where a licensed instructor will brief you on firearms safety and let you actually try a variety of different firearms. Sign Kat up for one of them...

Kids can shoot with parent’s permission at certain locations.

It looks like they started with a .22, which is really good to start with because it has very little kickback on it and it's a good way to just get comfortable holding and firing a weapon. It's basically like shooting a BB gun.

It's incredibly normal to be nervous, but you only need to know four rules to be safe with any gun. The four universal rules of gun safety are: • Treat all guns as if they are always loaded. • Never let the muzzle point at anything you are unwilling to destroy. • Keep your finger off the trigger until your sights are on target and you decide to shoot. • Be sure of your target and what is behind it. An extra note for new shooters: start with the smallest caliber, but if you want to shoot a big, powerful gun, only load one round into the magazine or cylinder at a time. That's a good tip for new shooters in general. Great guys that talk about this stuff: Massad Ayoob Dave Spaulding Adam Painchaud Paul Harrell John Lovell Brandon Herrera Donut Operator Demolition Ranch Kentucky Ballistics Hickok45

The ar15 isn't the monster that the media always makes it out to be. It's simply a fantastic platform that's very versatile. That's it. That particular rifle is cal .223 which has a mild recoil. Great for all ages to shoot. My 7 and 8 year old grandkids shoot them all the time.

When I was in my late teens and early 20's, (I'm in my 60's now) I used to go hunting with my dad. I had a 30/30 and he had a 30 odd 06. I loved going with him to the range to practice. Also he was old school and we'd grab his old shell casings and he'd buy the gunpowder, projectiles and primers to refill his own bullets. Such fun times.

Some of my favorite people reacting to some of my favorite people. James and Milly are great!

I live in the States and I have never shot a gun at 50 years old!!!! I can't wait to see how I do!!!! Good to get the kids to do it young so they understand gun safety. \/

The Beesleys were probably the perfect example of people completely unfamiliar with gun culture getting acclimated and more comfortable as time went on. You can tell the respect and uncertainty they have towards firearms, and you can also tell they paid extremely close attention to the instructions before they ever fired a single shot. You can almost see James go through a checklist in his mind going through every part of it, including proper stance and balance, to checking the safety after he has finished each magazine. It seemed like it was a little intimidating, and you can tell they went into the experience with even more heightened senses. I think as they got a little more familiar with shooting, it helped them relax, but I never felt they lost that heightened sense of respect, and that is a very good thing. Hopefully it led to a fun and unforgettable experience, and took away some of the fear and mystique around firearms. Many of us in the US have grown up around firearms in one way or another, even if we don't shoot them, you can see them behind the counter for sale at many Walmarts, Academy Sports, Bass Pro Shops, etc. We just are accustomed to seeing guns and being around them. For many people from different parts of the world, it is a very different experience and perception. As another commentor said, a firearm is a tool, just like a hammer or a car, and learning how to correctly use is and how to respect it is the most important thing a person can do, so being around guns is less intimidating. You guys seem like you'd have no trouble with those aspects, just as the Beesleys didn't, and it seemed they got some great memories and had a lot of fun as well.

Interesting to me that people who arent familiar with guns seem more scared and hesitant of rifles over hand guns. Hand guns are actually the more risky gun for newbies since theyre so small and maneuverable people can easily make the mistake of pointing the handgun in a dangerous direction. Handguns also are more difficult to control, having a very short barrel they tend to have more kick and less control. Rifles have far less kick (with comparable ammo caliber) are easier to control and keep pointed in a safe direction since they are longer. A .22 caliber rifle would be the best starter gun for newbies to shoot. Lighter and easier to control, no kick. Mille wouldve had more control with the AR if she had the stock lower on her shoulder. The rifle was too high... But I digress... No need to be scared of guns! They're just tools. They don't shoot on their own. Sincerely, Wisconsin girl who loves her guns.

In America, kids who live in the countryside start shooting guns at a very young age , as early as four or five years old. In most cases the first gun they shoot is a .22 rifle because there's no kick and is easy to use. As for hunting, that's a different story, some states you have to be a certain age like 11 years old and pass a hunters safety course, some states it can be any age, but you must be with an adult at all times. I have watched hunting videos and seen kids as young as five years old hunt and shoot deer with their fathers .

Follow the gun safety rules and their specific range rules and you will be fine. It is always important to receive proper instruction before firing a loaded weapon and you need to familiarize yourself with any weapon you are firing for the first time. Safety, awareness, and respect are key to having a good time. Those and lots of ammo 😃. I could take you to a range here in Fort Worth and let you fire any of our five rifles or five pistols in various calibers. Our range allows you to fire rapid fire semiautomatic. Means you can fire as fast as you can squeeze the trigger. I don’t prefer to do that unless it’s with my .22 caliber rifle. Ammunition is too expensive to just waste it.

If you call ahead, you can schedule someone to help you. It also depends on the range.

Tehe kids can shoot as long as they have their guardians there to say it is okay.

I got my first shotgun when I was twelve it was a .410 shotgun. My first .22 rifle was the next year after I proved that I was mature enough and had passed the safety course. You will be fine. And you will find that a .22 not really a lot different than an air rifle you just might need some ear protection at the range.

I first shot a rifle (22 caliber) at the age of 4 yrs old. M grandfather wanted to know if I wanted to and I said yes. My dad had to help me hold the rifle because it was too heavy for me.

Graham Family when you come to Texas you can go to the Worlds only Live fire tank adventure. It's called Drive tanks in Uvalde Tx. It is not far from San Antonio. They have artillery, mortars and anti-tank guns and more to fire and drive as well. Jono, you said RPG it's there as well as a M2 .50 BMG, M134 minigun, M9 flame thrower and more. The Museum is top notch. The experience is a bucket list item for sure. We ❤ The Graham Family in Texas. We can't wait until y'all come.

In the US, we carry firearms, and so do the police. An armed society is a polite society as it is said. As for being frightened, imagine a beginner in a kitchen with an accomplished chef. Now hold the knife this way and don't cut your finger off. Don't burn the butter...and on and on and on...Everyone learns, or they burn

I am subscribed to the Beesleys channel, so I watch all of their videos. I go to the range to shoot my guns, and the first time I shot my first handgun, I was scared to death. After attending a gun safety course, I felt more relaxed shooting my guns. Now, shooting my guns are second nature to me. I am relaxed and in total control. Sure, guns are dangerous, but like anything else, when you show respect for the gun and handle it properly, there is nothing to be afraid of. Like many gun owners here in the states, I have numerous guns. My handguns are a .25 caliber Lady Beretta that I bought for my daughter, but she didn't want it, so I kept it. I have a .380 caliber Ruger, a .380 caliber Sig Sauer P238, a 9 mm Sig Sauer P938, a 9 mm Beretta Nano, and a .40 caliber Beretta Border Marshal. My rifles are a .45 caliber long Colt Henry Rifle replica of their original long rifle, and a .45 caliber long Colt, Henry Rifle carbine. I also have my favorite...a .308 caliber, Springfield Armory M1A, with a rifle scope and a Harris bipod. All of my guns are fun to shoot at the range, and once you've shot a gun a number of times, any trepidation that you might have shooting a gun will disappear when you see how fun they are to shoot.

The range officer who gave them the safety briefing will walk away but there will always be a range officer patrolling behind all of the lanes making sure everyone is being safe.

They did it EXACTLY right, and so did the instructor. Started with the basics of grip, trigger control, and aiming. THEN started shooting, and with a .22. My only SLIGHT criticism is they both did not have the AR firmly against the shoulder. Thus you see the rifle jump around AND that magnifies the recoil. Even Millie should be proud of her weapon handling :) If you guys stop in LV, I can take you to the range, and you can experience those, plus some period-correct 19th century rifles and handguns.

One thing I have observed in 20+ years in the firearms business is that especially at the beginner level women are better shooters than men. You'll be aces at it Kat. Also consider letting the kids experience it too. They both at the optimum age to start.

Kat, all you need to remember is respect the gun and you will have a good time! There really is nothing like the thrill of being able to shoot a gun! You have to give it a try when you come here or you will regret it the rest of you life!

God bless Texas. Ain’t nothing better than

21:10 Mark! 1.3K Thumbs Up + Mine! 👍 You're welcome, and thanks! 😊 Notes: Oops! This is awkward! I scrolled down and passed their video, and I watched your reaction video to their video first! 😁 Oh well. Also, I'm a plinker and target shooter only! No hunting! So far, no self-defence shooting. When I was your son's size, we had mock battles using water guns, rubber dart guns, flying disc guns, firecrackers in lieu of hand grenades, and pop bottle rockets. BB guns were the worst item used. Always aim below the waist, by the way so there's no "you'll put an eye out" concerns! Yes, it stings, but tough blue jeans prevented penetration! 😮 But anyway, as adults we don't do that anymore! Being hit by ejected brass isn't the only concern. They are hot and can burn you too! When in a grassy area, like our back yard, be sure to police the brass, and shotgun shells, so the lawnmower doesn't fling them around! Also, so your animals don't accidentally eat them or choke on them. They also don't feel good to your knees when crawling around the yard to gather them up, by the way. Collecting guns is expensive! My brother and his best friend, each bought gun safes, and then proceeded to get the real versions of guns they used in "Call of Duty" games. Then there's the insurance and the ammunition. With the ammunition, if it is vintage, and you use it, it can't be replaced if they don't make them anymore! So only use new ammunition is made by existing companies. 🤔 People go on about calibers and fire power and accuracy, but forget to mention fit and comfort! Like when you buy a bicycle, you choose one that allows you to stand with your shoed feet firmly on the ground, not on your tip-toes, when seated. With firearms, you want one that you can hold and grip well, without dropping it as soon as you use it!

Hello to the Graham family...from Graham, Texas!

Hello from Alaska where guns are as common as knives. I enjoy watching you posts.

This gun range did things the right way. I've seen SO many videos of Brits or people from other countries doing this and they start them with a .9 mm gun or something similar. No, you start on a .22 or similar caliber weapon like in this video and then move up to a .9 mm etc.

100% agree. I don't know they start new shooters on anything other than 22lr. It seems so obvious to me.

The range officer is only a few feet away.

You should live in Switzerland. Target shooting at rifle and pistol ranges is practically the national sport. Firearm training is MANDATORY for all adult males. Since they are considered to be Militia, each adult male is provided with a government issued rifle.and they are required to remain proficient.

My grandpa taught me how to shoot when I was about 12. I learned on a .22 revolver. .22s are good for beginners to learn on and are really fun to shoot. I know that the Beesleys were in a rush, but it would have been cool if they had been able to shoot a .22 rifle. I think Millie wouldn't have been scared of it.

Typically at indoor ranges you may bring a child if you are the legal guardian and they are 12 years of age. Also only 2 shooters per lane. Most ranges are happy to educate new shooters on safety and best practices. Call ahead and let them know you plan to go so you can be certain someone will be available to assist. The range officer moves back and forth ensuring everyone is operating safely

Spot on. And range officers (rangemasters) are certified firearm instructors usually certified through the National Rifle Association or through the state. Some are real "safety Sallys"🙄 but better to be on the safe side...

There are lots of ranges in Texas that are happy to teach kids gun safety and how to shoot 😊

The best thing about gun ranges and those who frequent them often, is it's all about gun safety & gun knowledge, and is never to be taken lightly while there shooting.

I understand one being nervous around guns if you're new to them, as it's like learning to drive a car when we're young. First off it's something unknown and foreign to us, and we fear making a mistake that can cause injury. But like learning to drive, you first learn that safety is the first priority and you start out slow and easy. Start out with a small caliber like .22 that's relatively quiet and no recoil, and it won't take long to get comfortable with firearms. I wouldn't let her reaction to firearms in the video intimidate you, as few new shooters I've worked with have reacted that way. The vast majority got comfortable with them pretty quickly, and really enjoyed shooting them. I hope you guys have fun when you do get out to shoot, and that it's a good experience for you all.

I have variations of what they were shooting, a .22lr Ruger Mark IV LTE pistol, a Smith and Wesson MP15/22 rifle(has all the controls and similar reciever to an AR15 but chambered in .22lr), also have a AR15 pistol with 7.5inch barrel chambered in standard AR 5.56 or .223, and lastly a Beretta 92FS chambered in 9mm. I live in an apartment and simply drive about a mile away to an old gravel pit that many use as a shooting range

When I watched it, I told Millie she made me nervous with her finger in a position to get caught in the slide . But she did okay 😊

As a military brat, my father use to take me to the gun range with some of his buddies, a couple of who were navy seals, so I got to shoot some amazing weapons. When I was about 9 years old, I got to shoot a sniper rifle that was bigger than I was, lol.

These videos make me laugh a little bit. But i still enjoy watching first time shooters realize how fun it actually can be. Also, the 5.56 is still a 22 caliber in size it just has more gun powder behind it. Its all bark and no bite, unless youre in the other end of it. But really has next to no recoil.

I don't know the rules regarding age restrictions at the indoor gun ranges. Here in Missouri the Conservation Department maintains some very nice public outdoor ranges; some that are supervised, and some that are not. Familiarize yourself with a few (kinda obvious) safety rules before stepping on a range. Generally folks around you will let you know right away if you're being unsafe in some way(probably rudely😑). I have seen many children at these public ranges practicing with small caliber rifles. Parents decide what the appropriate age is for their kids to participate. I think it depends on the child's maturity level, but 9 or 10 would probably be a good age to start learning the basics of firearm safety and hunting. I took my Missouri Hunter Safety Course a million years ago in Spring1989 when i was 11 years old. Be safe out there, yall!

The first 3 rules of safely managing firearms are the following: 1. Always assume the gun is loaded even if you literally just unloaded it and cleared the chamber. Some places will tell you to never keep it loaded. That is actually a terrible idea but that's different because that's carrying on your person vs at a range so meh. 2. Always keep it pointed down and or down range. If you turn around to talk don't start pointing it all over the place an flagging people. 3. Always keep your finger off the trigger until you're actually ready to fire. These aren't the only safety tips but the 3 probably most important ones. There are other tips for stowing, storage, carry, conceal carry, etc. You essentially always want to treat the gun like its loaded ALWAYS. The reason the instructor was with them and (he was with them the entire time he just requested to not be filmed) was because they are new and foreigners. If someone like myself were to go to the range I'd be fine to walk in and do my thing with no staff or instructors behind me. It's all about the comfortability, if the staff perhaps knows you, you have some evidence of training. IE Military, Police, ETC. It's cool the Beesleys let you watch their stuff. The community grows bigger if the creators all work together man.

Frontier Justice is a big range in our area. Just look up Frontier Justice, Lee's Summit, Missouri. It will have all the shooting requirements and prices for Missouri. Great Reaction.

When you go shooting, try a variety of guns. Start with a 22, both pistol and rifle. Then do a 9mm pistol and a 45 pistol. Then do a 223/556 rifle like an AR15. Then do a shotgun with birdshot, buckshot, and slugs. Then try a higher powered rifle like a 308. You can also ask other people who are there shooting about their guns and ask if you can try theirs out if you give them a few bucks for the cost of the rounds. I let the guy next to us shoot my 308 last time I went.

Most of the ranges have range safety officers present. If they’re not in the immediate area they usually will watch monitors like hawks. There is too much of a liability to them to NOT “hover” so to speak around you, but they let you do your thing and as long as you’re safe they leave you alone. I have my own property to shoot on but i do love me a little bit of indoor range time.

Awesome reaction

There are ranges that will stay with you throughout your time. Some of them cost more for that but if you’re super nervous it’s probably worth the extra money.

Great video. Yeah!

Another request to bump the volume up on your videos up a tiny bit. And the Beesley's video you played was even quieter. Your kids are about the right age to start shooting under supervision. Probably just a single shot or something not semi-auto to start. They will need to be 18+ for a shooting range (I think). Many rifles are very soft shooter. In fact the AR is a gentle one to shoot without much of a kick. But it is VERY loud also. Range USA requires a background check (probably waived for foreigners) and a member ship. Go to a range that don't require those & just charge for the hour or so you will be there. Some ranges have an all day fee that is very reasonable.

I love the smell of my gun safe also. 🤔 Maybe I should buy my GF a bottle of Rem Oil instead of the the expensive smelly perfume.

A ,22 is perfect for kids to start off with. My first gun was a Marlin .22 at about 11 or 12 years of age. I know guns are not readily available in the UK, but it would be wise to have your child learn how to shoot and more importantly, how to safely handle a firearm. AS far as i know, kids are allowed at ranges in the US.

AR-armalite rifle. Just for those who confuse the ar for something else

In the original video, I felt she was turning around holding the gun and also almost pointing it to her face when talking.😮

Glad they stated off with a small caliber, AR is a very low recoil weapon.
