f.o.b.c. at the 4-H shooting event

[45sixgun]

Yesterday we spent 8 hrs. at the range for this year's official .22 caliber 4-H shooting event. Ammo is non-existant in the stores of our area and has been for awhile, yet we had a big crowd of kids. The officials were awesome, and I was proud to be there. Shooting is one more character-building recreational event for kids to participate in. It's not for everyone, but it does fill a niche. I know I'm biased, but I think the things learned in this sport will benefit kids for the rest of their lives––things like safety consciousness, concentration, listening to directions, responsibility, consideration of others, sharing, etc. I think this sport is even more beneficial than a lot of popular organized sports. I hope things return to normal soon, and that we can enjoy many more years of shooting with our children.

Looks like some adults dug into their stashes of .22 shells for the kiddies. Good job!
