Started a new adventure this weekend, worked with a group, 16, nine to fifteen year olds this weekend. Seven of them were girls. This is a kick in the butt good time.

Excellent Don. It's very rewarding to help the kids out. One thing to note, many of these young ladies outshoot the boys. We always get a chuckle out of it. Sue and I are both State certified Hunter Safety Instructors. It's been almost 20 years for me. Its a good time for sure.

Way to go. Most fun you can have away from a bedroom. I did it for 16 years until my bad knees and some politics got involved. I probably would have kept it up except for the knees. I do miss it though. Most of the instructors I worked with have either dropped out or passed away. AZ fish & Game started having the game smokies take over teaching and putting experienced instructors off to the side as gofers. Between that and the knees I finally said to hell with it.

Thanks Don- family commitments meant that I had to stop instructing many years ago. Always appreciate those who pick up the flag. Thansk CL

That's awesome work. I've seen how teaching kids safety and skills builds confidence and respect for firearms.

Thank you for taking the time to help get kids off on the right foot. Your knowledge and experience will be most appreciated by them all.

I've thought about doing something like this too . I'd enjoy it .


I see this is a couple years ago . is this working out for you ?

 

[salmonchaser]

Still working out, but I must confess I’ve had a number of conflicts with scheduling and family issues. That being said, once our weather breaks and the range is open, training will start back up.
