Curious about how youth shooting programs are shaping today’s young marksmen? Join us with special guests Rob Beckman, a passionate Boy Scouts advocate, and Becky Wetzel, a 4-H representative and former 4-H pistol instructor, as they discuss the transformative impact these programs have on children and families. Rob and Becky share their unique insights into how safety education, team building, and responsible firearm handling not only reduce fear but also foster respect and understanding among young participants and their parents.

Balancing safety and introducing children to shooting sports takes center stage in our conversation. Through engaging personal stories, we illuminate the unpredictability of kids’ curiosity and underscore the critical importance of securely storing firearms and childproofing homes. Together, we explore how organizations like the Cub Scouts and youth events at gun clubs are laying the groundwork for a lifelong appreciation of the sport, while also keeping an eye on family dynamics and mental health to protect loved ones.

Discover the opportunities awaiting young shooters as we highlight programs that build foundational skills and open doors to high school competitions, college scholarships, and national recognition. From the practical benefits of the American Rimfire Association to the historical lessons of Project Appleseed, we cover the vibrant landscape of youth shooting sports. Whether it’s through scouting, collegiate shooting teams, or educational programs, the potential for youth to excel and cultivate their skills is vast. Don't miss this insightful episode that promises to redefine perspectives on youth involvement in shooting sports.
