Oh, my. I had never heard of that.

When my daughter was a firearms trainer for the Coast Guard, she said they had recruits who had never been in the same room with a gun and were afraid to touch even the laser target “guns” they started with.

I had a girl at the archery range at Webelos camp who was scared. I told her none of the equipment was going to do anything loud. “Hold the bow like this. Arrow goes like this. Fingers here on the string. Stand up straight and pull ... shoot.”

She got a bullseye on her first shot. “Oh, this is fun!”

Had a buddy's son and girl friend out at the ranch.

She said she did not like guns.

With in two hours this 20 something girl was asking for her turn to shoot the Marlin 60...again...and again.

They allow girls in Webloes now? They should seriously consider changing the name then.
