Youth firearms training

Recommended Posts

No sure about CR but I think some of the clubs do have a youth shooters program, I know OBRPC does but probably a little further away from you than would be worth it to join, but tossing it out there just in case you didn't know. That and maybe one of the clubs closer to you has something like that.

 

Also you could always do a NRA first steps class, Anthony at GFH might be a good place to start with.

 

Oh and good job, not only getting the wife but your kid involved, after all our children are the next generation that will fight and keep our sport going.

Thanks for the info,

I've got the kid trained to recite the rules of safety from memory on command, and starting to introduce him to the rifle, go over some basics

I'm pretty sure I'm more exited than they are, buy at least it's a great reason to buy a new gun!!

Haven't had too much success getting the ball rolling on this, CR hasn't really sparked any excitement :(

As far as I knew, TRPC is closed to new members, so we couldn't go practice there.

On top of that, I've got a new member of the tribe due in about a month, so time, and spare cash will be two things l'll have very little of! :)

Your 12 year old boy should be joining a nearby Boy Scout troop. Not only will he get great firearms (at least rifle and shotgun) at summer camp and other times, but he'll learn outdoor skills, how to talk with other kids and adults, how to be a leader, etc. Best of both worlds.
