Youth Shootout
ShoMeOutdoors.com has
organized a youth firearms safety and firearms instruction day at the
Owensville Gun Club on Saturday, May 17th, 2008 from noon until 5:00pm.
Activities will include a firearms safety program, which will be
administered by Missouri Dept of Conservation hunter safety instructors and
NRA certified firearms and range instructors, clay bird shooting on the
shotgun range, as well as rifle and pistol skills training and practice.
There will also be someone there to demonstrate muzzleloader shooting. All
of which will be one on one,
supervised by qualified instructors. Firearms safety and shooting fun is the
theme of this event. Gun club member, Phillip Anderson has been instrumental
in helping to organize this event. Phillip has worked with the Gasconade Co.
4-H shooting sports program and their club is affiliated with the National
Rifle Association, the Civilian Marksmanship Program, and the Missouri
Shooting Sports Association.
Also participating will be Kyle Lairmore from the Missouri Department of
Conservation and the Gasconade County Youth Shooting Sports Association. He,
too, has been a HUGE help in these events.
We will have on site, the Laser Shot arcade game, which has been used to
train military and law enforcement personnel. Participants will be allowed
to test their skills and reflexes in hunting and shooting situations with
this electronic simulator, which utilizes a video screen and a laser firing
firearm simulator.
This youth firearms safety and instruction day will be held rain or shine at
the Owensville Gun Club which is located on the north side of highway 28
West, approximately 2 miles west of the Owensville, Mo city limits.
Ages 15years and under with or without any prior firearms experience are
urged to attend. Admission is free for everyone. Children must be
accompanied by a parent or adult legal guardian. We are inviting everyone
and anyone interested to this event. Our goal is to teach kids firearms
safety while having fun doing it. This is not a hunter safety class, but
will certainly help any kid who is about to take the MDC hunter safety test.
We encourage you to bring your kids out and join in the fun. Lunch will be
provided and we will also have drawings for some REALLY nice attendance
prizes. All you need to do is show up.
*Hearing and eye protection will also be provided.
Thanks,
The SMO Staff
Christopher's hunt
My first deer
one day I went to my grandpa's house, and me and my dad went hunting Saturday morning, and we went to the end of the field and we waited for two hours and we did'nt see anything in the field. then I asked my dad to use the grunt call, he did'nt want to so we set for a little wile more and we went back to the house until Saturday evening at 4:25. then we went back to the field and got set up, we were behind a brush pile, we got the gun set up and my dad said are you nervous, I said no I'm not nervous dad, he said ok will see then. my dad saw a doe, he said that's a good sine bud, then we saw a nother doe, I said I'm ready to shoot it, then he said they're moving down the field you ready, take her when you can. then I shot, he said good shot bud.
