Good on all of you that are bringing new folks into the fold.
Beautiful picture! I'll suggest a caption for when you make it into a poster:atek3 said:This is one shooting clays on the berm at 50 yards:

My shop is in a semi-urban area, and we get a lot of folks from all over in their early 20's. Most come from anti (or ambivalent) families, and they're taking the initiative to learn on their own. None of them were taught by their parents like we were.Now, it seems I read a lot about the next generation being much more interested.
Y'know, I think that I've read that before around here.alexd said:Guns are not just for white, heterosexual, Christian "good 'ol boys" and we shouldn't be so quick to equate this demographic with gun-ownership and advocacy. Considering the changing demographics of this country, we need to reach out to everyone to promote rational opinions on RKBA and spread this great hobby.
ptmmatssc, if I was at the range and a group of guys like you showed up, I'd probably just give you my wallet and shoot myself to save time
No doubt. First impressions are a good survival tool but when the facts speak differently, you gotta let them go. There's a group of real bada$$ biker looking looking guys who shoot at the range I go to. I was there one day lobbing tennis balls from my SKS and they showed up. Playing with an SKS grenade launcher is a good conversation starter. I got talking with them. They shot a few tennis balls, I shot an AK and an Uzi. I see them there from time to time and we always talk. The one guy often brings a really nice Buckmark that my boys usually end up shooting. Definitely good guys.The group of guys that go to the range with me are some of the nicest guys you'll meet .
