We had a couple of pretty young girls - women join our club awhile ago and it's been great to see the the attendance numbers at the shoots go up dramatically .
It's amazing to watch all the old buggers who never help with anything suddenly " come alive " with advice and offers of help and coaching .
Talk about crows to a fresh road kill
It is always great to see young people shooting full stop , it doesn't matter what type of shooting , male or female , talented or not .
A group of 15 from my club went to the Queensland State Skeet shoot last week and one of us , a young bloke called Cooper ( 18 years old ) won the Handicap event by shooting 149 straight . In the end it was just him and a AA shooter in the shoot off and young Coop just kept smashing every single target like he had been doing it all his life . He arrived at the shoot a B grader and left probably AA . It honestly was a great thing to witness and the confidence and attitude change was extraordinary .
