I was asked if I would do something for the kids again. Sure I says.
I'm looking to do something a little different this year since most of the kids were a bit older and fairly familiar with firearms.
So... this year I will set up a Rimfire Challenge -ish sort of match. I want to give some options, too, so I hope to offer Cowboy- Lever gun, single action revolver, Tactical- AR style rifle and 'modern' .22 semiauto pistol , and standard- Ruger 10/22 and MarkII/III-preferably "race ready." To give the kids a little taste of different competitions out there.
I'm putting this out there for help. I may need a levergun (Henry would suffice (I have access to one, but would have to go get it in Kansas) , an AR style rifle - M&P 15-22/ Mossberg 715 (?), or even a full size AR with dedicated upper?. The Modern Tactical pistol I'm thinking - Walther P22, Ruger SR22, Mosquito, M&P .22, etc.
I have a 10/22 but it is far from race ready (plain jane bone stock) if any one has, or know someone that has some Ruger/ Volquartsen rifle and pistol please contact me.
Of course the kids are welcome to bring their own, but I'd like to have a selection for those that don't .
Of course Moms and Dads are welcome to shoot, too, once the kids have all shot.
I think I'll do this as a free will donation sort of thing to help offset cost of ammo.
Depending on donations, there may be prizes in each category.
