Something positive for a change....

One of the fastest growing high school sports in America involves guns and ammo:

Nice story

Thanks for posting, great way to start the day.

Thats awesom, I just recently started shooting trap again. I'm getting my kids in to it also. One thing that sucks is the cost has gone up ten fold.

That is positive.

The school I grew up going to has a shooting team. I think they've done pretty well at tournaments.

Seems my high school in Hawaii started an air rifle team a number of years ago and I was completely unaware of it (or their Facebook page) until the team did well at state and the school published the results on their main Facebook page.

I believe I was the one, lone person congratulating the team. The vitriol from the other alumni was astounding.

One of the two high schools I attended in Hawai`i started an air rifle teams some years ago. I found out about it when my nephew joined his freshman year. They were shooting at a makeshift range in the back of the school that I think used to be a storage area for the landscapers. I offered to try to connect with someone at the Hawaii Rifle Association to build them a proper range -- would have continued with that but the principal referred me to the coach and I couldn't get the coach to ever get in contact with me.

I'd rather they were shooting smallbore like I did in my second high school but air rifle is a lot easier to run and gets less pushback from the community. Ironically, my nephew could practice air rifle in his backyard in Honolulu, something I can't do in Colorado Springs.

I miss those Appleseed shoots with Big Bear! No better way to play hookie with the boy for a day.

My stepson and daughter-in-law live in Sundance, WY and they have a big trap/skeet shooting team at the local high school. I had thought it was just a Wyoming thing though.

If anyone is unaware, St Mary's High School in Colorado Springs has a nationally-ranked shotgun team.

That is a great video! I am proud to say Green Mill Sportman's club is supporting this program for a local group of high school teams, just like in the video. They're able to come use our facilities for practice and competitions, right here in Erie, CO.
