I really like seeing the older guys teaching the kids the correct way to handle guns and ammo. JLoew is absolutely right about making the effort to pass the sport/hobby along to the next generation. My brothers and I were involved with the YMCA and there was a shooting range at summer camp. We were lucky enough to have patient camp leaders show us the proper way to shoot and handle guns safely. We were young teens and that memory is etched solid in the vault.
We work with a group (Field of Dreams) and grant them hunting and fishing access to our ranches. They serve war veterans and the kids of fallen soldiers. Over the 15 years we've been involved, they have helped many who wouldn't had the opportunity to shoot game or catch a nice bass.
Great pictures and a beautiful setting for those kids. Those will be some great memories. Very nice indeed.
