Thanks very much. Our son, who is 42, and was born and raised in New Jersey, has become very Texafied in his time down there. He competes in “run and shoot” biathlons, winning a slew of Gold, Silver, and Bronze medals. He’s wiry, can run, scramble over obstacles, and is accurate with both pistol and rifle. He has competed in Oklahoma several times, and last year, he and a buddy initiated their own event, deliberately double-entendred, the WTF Biathlon. It stands for Waco Tactical Fitness (among other things) and has been a huge success, raising thousands of dollars for charity. And it all started when I taught him how to shoot a BB gun, when he was about 6.
I’m glad your son has so readily adapted to his TX surroundings and the recreational shooting opportunities. The charity event he and his friend have started sounds like a very worthy endeavor. My time for participation in those events is behind me, especially since “wiry” was never a word used to describe me. I still enjoy shooting and took a course earlier this year with Massad Ayoob, a name you might know from the shooting world.
