Spring is coming, sooner for some than others.
Summer follows Spring and now is the time to get ready!
Especially for kids and new shooters.
Find that good used .22 rifle, or pistol and clean it up and get some ammo, extra eyes and ears.
If you have one, or other .22 guns, get them out, and get them ready to go.
Don't forget a Red Ryder BB gun and BBs...
Crappie will be biting, bream too, maybe bass and catfish - and while kids and shooting is fun, attention spans are not that long, so fishing in a farm pond is another fun and educational activity.
There is just something about a casting a peanut butter and jelly sandwich into the pond and a kid with a cane pole or Snoopy casting outfit saying- "Uh-oh, I messed up!" *lol*
So get some cane poles, not too long about 10' and shorten them if need.
Get ponds ready and make arrangements with folks that have ponds to use them, and bring a kid, and a kid's friend out.
Get the old fishing sets down out of the attic or from the corner of the garage.
While fixing up and getting guns ready get them old casting outfits ready too.
Fishing sets , from Snoopy, Zebco 33, Shimano spincast to even a fiberglass fly rod are not expensive - get one.
Fun factor of course, and of course Responsible Firearm Ownership.
Attracting new folks and dispelling myths, and one great way is for a kid and parent to be invited to come fish in a pond, eat picnic food and step over and shoot .22's.
It is all about the kids, and the new shooters. It does not matter if you shoot, or even fish, it is about them.
Gun folks are good folks, and not at all what Politicians, Main Stream Media and other Sensory Inputs do to paint gun owners as bad people and guns as being bad.
Attraction. These kids and parents that come along, not only see what gun folks are doing, they want what they have.
They get involved in investigating and verifying guns, crime, enacted laws and write letters, send emails, vote and get involved in preserving Freedom.
Word of mouth travels fast with good news, and one cannot put a value on positive public relations.
Maybe you don't have kids, any nieces or nephews, what about co-workers?
How about one new to your area and does not know where to go? Maybe a single mom or dad and quality time they need to do this and don't really know where to go?
What about that old Zebco, you haven't used in ages, old tackle box and other stuff?
Responsible firearm ownership is not always about a firearm. Nope, fix up that old tackle, and give that young lady or young man that needs fishing stuff that old stuff.
Later when the kid and adult are home, with all them hooks and corks and other stuff on the kitchen counter, that stuff will remind them of what a great time they had and getting to shoot .22s and BB guns and...
The kid goes to bed, the parent checks on the kid and in the room with the ambient light a parent sees that fishing pole, that tackle box and a box of .22 shells with shot up tin can...and that kid has the most wonderful look on their face...
...the door to the kid's room is closed and...
A letter gets written, a check made out , emails sent and once again, passing forward attracts another to responsible firearm ownership.
