Keeping the sport alive

I took my Son and 3 of his high school buddies target shooting on Saturday. I was the only adult there and it was a great experience for us all. My Son and I shoot alot, these other young men (15-19)had been a few times before (not with us)but was very safety minded. All of them payed attention and a great time was had by all. I hope that someday these young men will take thier Sons or Daughters out for a day on the range and keep the sport alive.

    I like hearing these type of replys. It is very important that we teach the next generation, they are our future as well, what they learn from us they will teach thier children. Keep it alive!

    I've taken our four kids and the dear wife shooting and hunting ... what a great thing to enjoy together. Two of the boys are pretty much into it. Thr grand daughter is only 15 months old![:D] I'd like to get an Annie Commemorative Winchester for her, but the price is going to be nuts.[:(]

    Funny how that 'shooting gene' sometimes skips a generation![:0]
