Shooten' up the Hills

We recently heard about a local 4H shooting class for kids 6 and up. Yes, I do mean real ammunition and guns. we feel it is advantageous to have the kids know about guns, how to handle them and more importantly how to be safe with them. Perhaps if they have used guns a lot there will not be a tempting allure and then less accidents. My 6yr old son knows of a little boy that accidently shot himself when he found his dad's gun. This 4-H class will help them be safer.

So they got to use a 20-guage shotgun last night and try to hit some clay pigeons. I really thought they would be too scared to try. they were timid but wanted to try. Both of my older kids did exceptionally well. They were safe and got to fire. I am proud of them.
