Who is in shooting sports: Kids in general; Adults can help their kids but can't really be in 4-H shooting sports. Our adult coaches that supervise the kids have gone though a background check and certification in the subject they are teaching related to shooting sports.
What do we do: We teach the kids safety around firearms and bows (recurve and compound bows mainly); how to use them in a safe way and best of all we shoot them at targets. We shoot .22 Rifles and pistols; sometimes higher caliber guns but not normally. We also shoot shotguns at a different location on Sundays.
When do we shoot: We shoot bows, rifles and pistols on 1st and 3rd Mondays. We shoot shotgun on 2nd and 4th Sundays.
Where do we shoot: We shoot Mondays at Chandler's gun shop and shooting ranges and Sundays at the Waco Skeet and Trap Club. There are tournaments at different places around town and out of town. We often go to them.
Why do we do this: We do this because we think it is fun and safe. It can help people learn gun safety and proper use of guns. Shooting sports can have many good thing in the future for you to do like hunting, teaching other people safety around firearms and safety for yourself when needed.
I like shooting sports because I like guns and stuff like that. It is a good place to make new friends and learn new stuff in a fun and entertaining way.
