At some point in your youth, you were introduced to guns and even led over to the dark side of black powder.
A group of us have been active in working with kids in muzzleloading instruction. We had one summer in with the Scouts at Camp Raven Knob prior to Covid and now we're back. This week we've worked with two camps- Bud Schiele and Raven Knob instructing in muzzleloading safety, history and marksmanship.
We're all certified NRA/NMLRA instructors. N-SSA member PJ Kelly was kind enough to loan muskets for use in the form of 5 1863 Remingtons aka "Zouaves". Schutzen Energetics donated powder and caps, THANK YOU TAMBI! Lead is covered by honorariums from speaking engagements by one of our instructors. We also have some PRB guns that we personally bring to this table. We cast the bullets. We assemble the ammo. We cover our instructor costs. We spend the time to instruct kids. There is no better thing you can do in the shooting sports world than give a kid a fun and safe introduction to shooting!
