Good pictures, and congrats on teaching young people to shoot. Now, if I may, I'd like to point out a couple of things that trouble me from a safety issue.
The girl in the second photo has the bolt closed on her gun (which indicates a loaded gun), yet she is standing there casually with her right hand in her pocket and the gun held casually with one hand and resting on her thigh. She should either unload the gun if she is going to carry on a conversation and hold the gun so casually, or, if the gun in fact is not loaded, she should have the bolt locked open. The only time the bolt should be closed is when the shooter is on the line ready to shoot.
The second thing that bothers me is that the husky young man with the Over/Under doesn't appear to be wearing any safety glasses. Eye protection and ear protection should be mandatory.

Brought a broad smile to my face. Seeing the form on those kids--especially in the first picture--was a delight. Kids who learn they can take responsible control of powerful objects learn some things important about life. They get a good head start on it. Responsibility, self control, discipline, and confidence built on a sold base.
But you know all that already.
Thanks for posting.
