Fun Shoot!

This program is supported by the 2018 Virginia Wildlife Grant Program through a partnership between the Virginia Department of Game and Inland Fisheries and the Wildlife Foundation of Virginia.
We want to thank Big Dog Outfitters in King George https://www.facebook.com/BigDogOutfitters for supporting the King George Outdoor Club and our shooting events time and time again. They stepped up again and made today a blast (pun intended) for the kids. Howard Communications--A media relations company-- supported us with targets for the .22 range and the kids. They have regularly supported the youth and our R3 efforts. Check them out at http://www.howardcommunications.com/ Also, NWTF Rappahannock Spurs Chapter sponsored and covered us today! This is an outreach of their chapter.


I definitely could not do this event without help. Today that help came from my daughters Kristy and KD who ran the camera and the clay range. My father in law, Larry Stewart, pulled targets. Mr. Long was again a huge help with supervision and coaching. He is fast becoming one of our leaders! We had assistance from all of the other parents to include TJ Rollins, Mr. and Mrs. Karle, Mr. and Mrs. Berdeguez, Mrs. Emory, and Mrs. Cook. When shooting, ALL parent support and watchful eyes are important.
We had over a dozen young people firing .22 rifles that were club rifles and a nice subsonic bolt rifle and an AR style rifle, a .22 handgun (Big Dog helped us with a great price on this), shotguns to include personal guns that were shared. Thanks to those that shared guns and rifles!
The event started at 11 AM with a safety brief, notice about those sponsoring and then a reminder about being safe so everyone goes home with all their digits and no holes in their body, just holes in targets. We had shooters of all ages. Some moms and dads took a turn or two and the kids loved it. In addition to paper targets (Birchwood Casey's SHOOT NC--Thanks Howard Communications), we had cans, spinning targets and clays to include "rabbits" to shoot at. I think the kids had a good time. Safety was in good supply today and we are happy the day went well. Thanks again to all that helped out and to all that came! Good shooting!
The next event planned is a venison processing event. It will be short notice, but tentatively it will be Jan 3rd or 4th or 7th or 8th depending on when we get a deer to use. Email me to be put on the email list. We will limit this to 8 youth for safety reasons.
