Saturday morning, Kendra, Colin, and I went to 4-H Shooting Sports. It is a 4-H program to teach kids how to safely handle and use bow and arrows and guns. It also builds knowledge and self-confidence. I help teach the archery discipline of the program. Brother-in-law Chad teaches the shotgun discipline and the program also has an air rifle/rifle portion. His two boys also participate in the program. The kids can choose which discipline they want to or do all three. When we started, Colin was all about it but Kendra was reluctant to try it. After she tried archery and air rifle, she loves it. Colin does them both and last time tried out the shotgun so I think he is hooked. The best thing I like about the program is that we teach safety foremost. I know that if the kids happen to be exposed to a bow or gun they will be responsible around them. Since I am teaching archery I only got pictures of them shooting the bow. I am quite proud of how well they do shooting and they are happy to be shooting also.
