Introducing new shooters

JR was gracious enough to take some new shooters to the range to teach them important gun safety, and (as a bonus) an appreciation for firearms.

Learning to shoot can be one of the most important things you can teach someone else. The basics of firearm safety is something everyone should know, gun owner or not.

If you're a gun owner, it's your duty to keep your eyes and ears peeled for people who might be willing to go to the range with you. Teaching people (especially in blue states) that nothing bad happens when a gun goes off is an important lesson, and will bring fence-sitters to our side.

It is also great to see their eyes light up when they get one, first in the black, then in the 10 ring.

The younger kid put 200 rounds through that single shot. He would shoot the center out of the target, we would put up another, and he would do it all over again.

The older brother enjoyed the AR and did quite well with the pistols.

All in all a great day.
