AAR 2nd Annual DNR WINAMAC & NWI INGO Youth Day - SAT 21 JUNE 2014

[TheUziButton]

New shooter takes target (courtesy Blythe's Sport Shop in Valparaiso, IN) down range.

Attendees also had the opportunity to participate in the archery station manned by DNR.

DNR personnel teach youth about reloading shotgun shells.

The INGO tent had stickers available to participants.

Attendees are trained in firearms safety before shooting firearms. One of the safety rules taught is keeping your finger off the trigger until you are ready to fire.

 

[LadyGhost]

I am sorry I could not be there this year. I wish I would have been farther along in therapy plus feeling good. I missed all the fun.

 

[TheUziButton]

Even Dad gets to shoot a little.

Gerber was on site to demo any of their product line.

The commissioner for Fulton County receives instruction on the operation of a pump shotgun.

Mom helps daughter align sights in order to make her first shot.

 

[chef larry]

Great pictures TheUzibutton.

 

[KG1]

The pics of the kids being instructed and having the knowledge passed down to them are priceless. Well done to all those involved.

 

[daddyusmaximus]

Anyone else look at pics of themselves, and think, "what a doofus"?
Or is it just me?

I didn't until I saw TheUziButton's photo of me using my cane to show a young shooter how to get a good cheek weld. Several of the young ones didn't like putting their face right down on the stock.

Jedi, for your report...

6 packs of hot dogs. = $10.74
200 rounds of .223. = $78.90
48 cans of pop. = $15.00
48 bottles of water = $8.00
4 bags of ice = $12.00
1 bottle of insect repellant = $4.00

Chance to advance the shooting sports to a new generation. = Priceless.


Hard to put a price on the use of tables, coolers, shade awnings, guns, fuel, and time and effort... but well worth it.

Looked good to me for the young person to see and learn the right way for the cheek weld. The art of instruction is different with everyone, to obtain the result is the goal.

Talked to Fenway about maybe having volunteer shirts for next year with the sponsors on the back. Be nce to see this become a little more professional as well as get the sponsors some business.

 

[chef larry]

Not one picture of sadclown getting a hug from any of the children in attendance?

I like that idea. It would look real good for us all to be dresses up alike. Not to take anything away from the grass roots effort.

 

[mrobnoxious1]

I think we should all dress like me.

A proud Dad takes a picture of his son firing an AK for the first time.

Attendee fires his first AK

This young gentleman was a natural when introduced to archery.

Despite the fact that ammunition is still scarce and/or expensive, INGO members generously donated all the ammunition to make this event possible.

Grandpa helps his grandson fire his first bolt action .22 rifle.

Seconds after this picture was taken, this little girl fires a perfect shot into the X ring. She did exceptionally well at all the stations that day.
