We finally got approval from the school board last spring and have one season under our belts. We are heading toward the end of season two with our nine kids, ranging from 15 to 18 years of age. Four had some experience, five little to none.
My older son, our club president, one other member, and I are the club coaches along with one staffer from the school.
Kids have made great progress.
Ava, from a 13/50 her first time, is breaking in the mid 30s, and she has some vision issues. T, an autistic that my son stays with for each whole session at from 6 the first week to over 30. We've had two 25 straights, a couple of 47 and 48s.
Fourth or fifth out of the eight schools in our conference.
The best part, long with the skills development is seeing the relationships developing, the total lack of jealousy or snarkiness, and the extreme safety awareness.
And my granddaughter is flirting with the forties.
Just about as much fun each week with them as shooting a fifty myself, nah, more.
Guns used, range from a Mossberg 500 with a corncob on the end and a car tire sidewall recoil pad through an 870 Wingmaster, an Express, a Winchester 1400, a BT99, a Benelli Montefeltro, an Ethos, an 1100, and a 3200.
Each week I check all for cleanliness, safety and function, with their owner.
 
I would love to make a joke about trap being more expensive than cocaine…just not right here.

You are doing something wonderful and will last forever with those kids - good job!
 
Never tried an illicit drug and I’m sneaking up on 78. The highs the kids give me are enough.
If some of the infirmities get much worse…..
 
Last night of competition is in the books. Had several shoot personal high scores including a 25, 23 for 48. Ava got a 39, couple others in the mid forties.
Next week is fun week and we will introduce them to protection and Annie Oakley matches. And, the coaches get to play.
 
One of our kids made second in our division for total average. And he shot a 49 in league for me last night.
