Ceilings and ceiling fans are not safe with long guns and bayonets. A fan and a Gew 98 with heavy butcher blade bayonet do not mix. LOL And the folks that say they have never done it well I won't say they are lying. LOL. Then you teach them the fine art of sheetrock repair or electrical by replacing the blade on the fan. It all works out in the end. I agree with Charlie my Son turned 16 in August he grew up at age 7 shooting a Lithgow22 SMLE. Time flies by and before you know it they are gone and doing great stuff.
