Kids and Hunting
Have any of ya'll given much thought to doing something about passing on the fun we experience from shooting and hunting to the next generation of voters? Here in Texas we have several groups that have set up programs to do just that because we believe that if we don't we will soon lose our rights to do so through a lack of interest on the part of the general public.
I work with the Texas State Rifle Assoc. and we host several events every year where we take kids out hunting or shooting. For example we try to host an NRA style youth shooting sports fest every other year. The last event hosted over 400 first time shooters from the Houston area and included learning how to shoot muzzleloaders, cowboy action shooting, sporting clays and .22 rifles.
We also host 4-6 youth hunts each year that introduce youngsters to the joys of hunting and helping to feed their family while learning more about our hunting heritage and the outdoors. Is anyone else on this board involved in helping to pass on our sport like this?
