Matthews said his soon ten -year -old son wants to go hunting to Jelena soon, while his five -year -old “wants to sit in blindly for the Puretina hunting season this coming year.” Children also often dress in “Camo and flames orange,” he admits.
“People can guess what kind of family we are,” he joked.
However, there is a great deal of responsibility, and Matthews gave advice to his fellow firearms owners on how to protect everything.
“The first thing is to lock them at all times. My kids are raised from a young age around a firearm, whether it is hunting, recreational cracking, rattle, whatever it is, but they understand dads for that.” They have a free cut.

“And just attention to safety, really, knowing where the barrel is directed, finger from the trigger, things that most weapons owners look easy, but when you raise children to be in that lifestyle to crack firearms, you just have to teach and install in youth.
“My father did a fantastic job with me. I know I was a kid,” Dad, can I see that? Can I see that? “” No, no, no. “But when I went out there, there was a responsibility that I felt to grow up in that environment and I hope my children would have the same.”
On the eve of Jelena’s hunt, Matthews said he would take his oldest son to training – probably after the flag match.

“I was raised in southern California, so I had no opportunity to be on the field all the time, but I always had that ride to the external and firearms,” he said. “So, for me, I like to share it with them.”
