Thought this would be of interest to some.

I believe the more kids shoot, the fewer kids get shot. I know these aren't "kids", but they are students. And, that is my point: I wish more students, from early ages, had a chance to learn about guns. Guns are a tremendous learning tool: Physics, Optics, Engineering, History, Politics, Chemistry, Biology, Self-Discipline and more...

Awesome Post!

I did this in college, for 3 years, for the local U. I was a nobody 'cept someone with a hypercompetive streak.

I earned my letter within 12 months due to a great coach, 'cause after learning the mechanics, the rest was between the ears. (Mind over matter.)
The folks on my team were also leaders, and smart people. I'd have it no other way....

As an aside, I wish WVU would realize that Sport Shooting is the ONLY sport where guys and girls compete at the same time, with the same equiptment. It's the perfect Title 9 sport! ('cept to the femnazis and gun control freaks!)

Talk about dating yourself! I remember guys carrying fancy .22 target rifles around Ferris Booth Hall at Columbia University, right in the middle of New York City -- and nobody thought anything about it!

Interesting that the championship team is in Alaska. I wonder if they actively recruit the best in the world to come there or if they just kind of develop into the best? I would imagine that it's a good place to practice, kind of block out everything else and do nothing but concentrate on shooting, seeing as it's in a remote place compared to the rest of the USA. I would have figured the championship team might be in a southern state like Kentucky or Tennessee.

Arguably, I'm the best all-around rifle shooter in the world right now

Outside the ones deployed inside Iraq.
