Scout Shooting

[Bruce Day]

Some of us believe in supporting the Boy Scouts and assisting in the shooting program. For the last 22 days I have been helping out at our local camp with cowboy action revolver shooting and rifle shooting. We run about 60 boys through each day and assist in target rifle shooting.


well I got my attention diverted and never finished.

I wore western clothes and strapped a 1904 Colt on my hip and played marshal and deputized the boys to drive outlaws. out of the trading post. Great fun for them and we put through a lot of adults too. Many had never shot a revolver or even a pistol before and we taught all that including gun safety. Some of the moms had never shot any kind of gun before and we ham it up and they walk away with big grins. Hundreds of kids and leaders.

So I am involved in this but there are probably opportunities for many to get involved in your communities.
