Once you get them hooked, be sure and tell them that democrat majorities and their 2A rights aren’t compatible.
I took 3 fellow teachers out shooting, and they loved it. It’s the best way to make pro-gun voters.
Our gun club has a “take your daughters” shooting day each year. The young ladies 8-18 really get into it once exposed and they get good quickly. The gun club provides the 22 rifles and ammo and provides a mentor for each shooter. Gun clubs should be encouraged to sponsor these introduction days not only for the young ladies and men but also any one interested.
There are gun grabbing control freak politicians, and then there are masses of sheep who don’t like guns because they make loud noises. The latter are potential guests at the range, and be sure to take them out for a burger afterward.
When my Daughter was young we would play a really fun shooting game.
We would line up two rows of 10 empty 12 gauge shotgun shells. We would take turns shooting a single shot Daisy model 953 target pellet gun. The winner was whoever knocked all their shells over first.
She eventually got to where she could totally keep up with me. I would win some and she would win some.
This is a GREAT idea!
We all know about the theory that “ignorance is bliss”. Maybe taking someone whose never put a round down range and letting them do just that is the way to go.
Lord knows that I spent enough time on the range and in the pits that I could do just that.
I’ve never bothered to ask because I shoot on private property, but why the prohibition on steel & bimetal ammo. That’s all I shoot through my Saiga AK. It shoots anything flawlessly so I see no reason to pay for expensive American brass cased stuff to run through it.
My AR is a little fussier, but does well with WPA Military Classic, thus saving me a lot of money over the last year.
