Good Morning David,Well, the "Authorized Journalists" may not report on it, but that's what us lowly bloggers are here for. This is vital work--if we don't have a next generation that's educated and involved, it'll be "Say good night, Gracie."
Had the best "vacation" last week. I had the honor of running registration and scoring for 600 kids at the 2012 Texas 4H State Games for shooting sports. Over 1000 kids shooting in 32+ events with firearms over a 6 day period. The really amazing part was not one person was worried about all these kids carrying a firearm. Not one accident. Not one injury. In the shotgun area alone over 250,000 targets were thrown over a 4 day period. If anyone wants to see the true face of gun owners they need to come to this event. I hear folks talk about how bad our youth are these days and have to think that my experience is tainted because I have the privilege of working with this group from all walks of life. Just once I would like the "media" to report on these kids.
Have a great day!!

This sure beats what the antis recommend. You know, ignorance, avoidance and fear...
I spent many hours on the small bore range preparing for the State 4-H championships back in the late 50s & early 60s. It's good to know the program is still alive and well. Thank you Mr. Burch
