What did you do at the range lately?

we have the ymca camp out on thurs-fri for intro to shotgun & 22 rifle. Basic stuff, starting with gun safety, range rules, etc. Day 1 is 20 ga shotguns, with then shooting watermelons as a finale. Gives them the opportunity to see how much damage a shotgun can do. We also do a basic 22 pistol intro before the day is up. Ending with a friendly competition shooting steel. The 2 best shooters have 5 rds to see who is the better shot @ 15 yds.

An interesting thing happened after the 2 finalist faced off. 1 rd made the difference between them. After the shoot the kid who lost walked over to the winner and............................................... .... Extended his hand to the winner, saying Congratulations, good shooting.

That made the day. Impressed how a 12 yr old handled Not winning.


Of course the 22 dueling tree shoot fri, gets the winner trigger time on a suppressed AR . Unknown to the kids, that watermelon the winner shoots is loaded with tannerite. The kids line up after that, to shoot steel plates out to 100 yds, with the AR.

A watermelon full of tannerite sounds like fun! Those kids ought to love that.

It's one of the highlights of their 2 day range trip.
