Re: [MBZ] ranges

If either had been available when I was in HS, I'd 'a' been all over 
either or both.

.22 rifle is a growing varsity sport in the US, after a few decades 
when it had just about died out.


But it's still virtually impossible to have firearms in your locker or 
even in the parking lot without being made into a felon. I remember 
one kid whose mom saw a safety video about carrying a seatbelt cutter 
in the car, she put knives in the consoles of all the family cars and 
he got a felony charge of having a weapon in a parking lot.


High school trapshooting is more popular than rifle competition, I'm 
wondering how long it will take to surpass tennis.

Re: [MBZ] ranges

I think I shared this before but here it is again. In high school the coach/gym 
teacher had a daughter who was in my class. She was kinda cute. He was this 
polish guy who was built like a fire plug and was about as tough. He took NO 
sh..tuff. 

His daughter shot on the rifle team. They had a range under the stand in the 
gym. Turns out she was really good and won state title. 

So that family was a twofer — Daddy could seriously kick your ass and the 
daughter could shoot your ass. I don’t think she ever had a date with any guy 
in the school.

Re: [MBZ] ranges

We have several sporting clay teams at our local high schools that both 
practice and compete at the range I belong to.  I shot on a competitive air 
rifle team in high school, too.  Nothing like that now that I know of, at least 
not around here.

I think shooting sports for youngsters is a great idea.  Like any sport, it 
takes commitment, practice, and in the case of shooting sports, a serious 
commitment to safety and education.  These are not kids who will be out on the 
street shooting people.
