Just wanted to see if any of you shoot, have shot or are involved in competitive shooting.
I coach a 4-H BB team.

Hi CPB,

I coach 3p sporter air rilfe at the high school level. I compete in smallbore prone.

It's good to get kids interested at an early age.

In Georgia , the answer is yes. It is through the ROTC program and in the 4-H programs as well.

If your schools ROTC program does not have a team you might want to try looking at a 4-H program or contact the local Jaycee chapter. They might be able to help you out. Good luck!!

P.S. There are College Scholarships available at some colleges for shooting.

I shot both air rifle and air pistol in competition. I started just to have a way to practice for High Power and Service Pistol slow fire, and found the competition quality air guns a joy to shoot in their own right. There is just something about a precision instrument. My air rifle is a FWB 300 Universal, and my air pistol is a FWB C20. I also have a Beeman R1 Tyrolean model for squirrels and Field Target competition. Expensive equipment, but worth it all. Got good enough at one time to be invited to try out for the US National Team. Sea duty precluded advancing further, however.
