Our club in Lander WY has a very nice indoor range, eight firing points, all NRA and OHSA approved, etc. The local 4H club uses the range a couple afternoons a week for their rifle and pistol marksmanship program. In an email this morning, a friend related to me that we had to expand the 4H use to three afternoons because they now have 44 kids in the program as opposed to only 20 last season.
Three cheers for the Real Americans who will devote their time and energies to providing programs like this to our children. Can you imagine running a rifle and pistol program for 44 youngsters?
These kids attend several competitions a year around the state and some to Colorado, and they win more often than not.
If you have 4H in your area and a youngster or some interested in shooting, check them out, it is a very fine program.

Re: Making America great again
Years ago I worked with a 4H group, we traveled around competing against other groups. Some of those kids were very good shooters!
Nice to see your club is stepping up as well as those parents!

Re: Making America great again
From what I've seen, 4-H is WAY BETTER than 'Boy Scouts' in terms of their political leanings (or lack of)....
Perhaps it is just because Boy Scouts USA has been attacked more severely and more often, but I DEFINITELY think supporting the 4-H programs is good, particularly (of course) the 'shooting sports....!
