Beginning to shoot

Hi Everyone,


In a previous post I talked about how much fun it was to shoot trap. For those of you who are shooters, whether for hunting or sport, you know what I'm talking about. But, if you've never shot a gun before, how do you get started?


There are several programs out there for first time shooters. First Shots, Women on Target and the Appleseed Project. First Shots is a part of the National Shooting Sports Foundation. Women on Target is sponsored by the NRA and The Appleseed Project by the Veterans of the Revolutionary War.


I have never participated in a First Shots Program, but I have heard excellent things about it. First Shots seems to be very similar to Women on Target. Both emphasize safety, responsibility and enjoyment of the shooting sports with either handgun, rifle or shotgun. The Appleseed Project emphasizes marksmanship with the rifle. All of these programs give new shooters an opportunity to sample shooting in a safe environment.


I'm going to make this a short one today. Please check out these programs by googling them or check out Freedom First Firearms School if you are in the Inland Empire area of Southern People Republic of  California.

Got to run. See you tomorrow.Until then, keep prepping because what you do matters, and remember, "Just 'cause there's snow on the rooftop, doesn't mean there ain't a fire in the fireplace."
