>Hi all
>
>I've volunteered to run the Shooting Sports parts of Cub Scout Day Camp at 
>LASC on June 6-10. This involves bb/pellet guns (Wed-Thurs) and archery 
>(Fri). I could sure use some volunteers from the club from 9-3 on those 
>days. We have plenty of great equipment (8 new GAMO pellet rifles with 
>red-dot scopes and lightweight compound bows), what we need are folks to 
>help me on the line. I'd like to have 1-on-1 instruction for the boys if 
>we can. We start every session with a strong safety lecture, then some 
>age-appropriate technique hints. We'll be shooting targets one day and 
>eggs the next. (A raw egg hit by a pellet makes quite a disgusting splat, 
>which of course boys of ALL ages enjoy). Archery is at standard targets 
>set very close. We try to ensure success so we leave a fond memory, along 
>with a desire to return and increase their skill.
>
>This is the easiest way you'll ever find to  become an instant hero to a 
>young future shooter. Every boy who shot last year was wildly enthusiastic 
>about shooting both bows and the guns, its the highlight of the camp. 
>Every boy we reach now will carry that memory forever. They may not take 
>up shooting as a hobby, but they will still think fondly of shooting as an 
>adult (think "future voter"). How many of you got started shooting thru 
>Scouting, as I did? Last year I gave out about a dozen membership 
>applications to adults (they love to shoot eggs too!), so its good for the 
>club as well as the sport. This is one of the ways we demonstrate that we 
>deserve to retain the club's lease and that LASC is an 
>important  community asset. Besides being lots of fun, its pretty 
>satisfying to sidestep the frustrations of politics and take direct action 
>to keep our sports alive and well.
>
>Many of you can't dedicate a whole day (or three), but if you can only 
>come out for a morning or afternoon shift, I can use your help. Extensive 
>experience not required, will train! A strong safety attitude is the most 
>important thing we teach. The boys are VERY well-behaved, tightly 
>supervised, and highly motivated to do well. This makes them a joy to teach.
>
>If you can help, please reply by email or call 665-1427. Thanks!
