For a couple of summers I taught Rifle Marksmanship at a local Day Camp. I'm
talking about the REAL thing, too. Standard NRA 50 foot targets at 50 feet,

even though the kids were between 6 and 15 {actually, it was the 10 & 11
year olds that concentrated the best}. It was BB guns & Air Rifles for the
'little ones', and .22 for the older kids.

We used to shoot at an indoor range in the winter. Fifty feet. All
positions. With sling and without.

I miss the smell the most.

Burnt powder and Hoppes #9 (smelled better than Chanel #5 to me -
still does).

Now most of the gun clubs have been turned into swim and tennis clubs.

Sigh...
