Some of you know that I'm on a personal mission to introduce as many people who are anti-gun or overly-influenced by the media's image of firearms to the joys of shooting. I regularly put out an open invitation for people to join me at the range where they can observe the safe and correct handling of a firearm. If they would like to, they can also try shooting - starting with a .22 and progressing to something with a bit more bang if they want to. I also bring my PSE Nova and my Vixen along to help then understand the difference how much fun it is to fling arrows into a target.
Here a woman posted on her blog about her experience at the range with us last week
I strongly believe in taking every opportunity to share our pastime with others to further a greater understanding of firearms. Each person who moves from "anti" to "understanding" will help carry the flag for us when it comes to discussions about firearms. The more people who understand, the less will accept the media's slant without question.
It would be great if this year each of us could take one "anti" to the range and show them the joys of recreational gun ownership!
