Another gun group?
Why?
Because the competent American shooter is an endangered species, headed on a fast track to extinction.
Practical rifle and pistol shooting, free from geegaws and the “equipment race”, is a dying art.
There are tens of millions of centerfire rifles in the United States. How many of their owners know how to use those tools to a fraction of their potential?
Answer – not many.
The Western Rifle Shooters Association is dedicated to fixing those problems, one shooter at a time.
I don't know much more about these folks than what you'll find on their site, but the premise looks interesting.
I've asked their reps to check in from time to time today to answer any questions, so if you have one, leave it in the "Comments" section below.
Thanks, David, for your support.

ReplyDeleteLike the Appleseed program from the RWVA?

Stephen:
ReplyDeleteYou are very perceptive.
By its own concept, the RWVA Appleseed program (http://www.rwva.org)limits itself to 25m basic riflery training.
It's a very good program, and there's a great deal to the doctrine that if you can't reliably hold a one-inch, 4 MOA group at 25m, you will be hard pressed to be effective at longer ranges.
Part of our target audience are the folks who can do so, and want to move on to other forms of practical rifle and pistol training.
By all means, let us know what you think at the blog (http://westernshooters.blogspot.com) or by email at westernshooters@gmail.com.
See you on the firing line!
