I'm not so sure of that. Both my sons in their late 20's are avid gunners. Both have friends who are also clays shooters and bird hunters. Most of my Missouri friends also have sons, daughters or grand kids who are also involved with shotguns in some way.

Each year I try to invite as many young shooters as possible to the famed Flatwater shoot in Syracuse, Nebraska. It's still pretty gray there but there is some interest among the younger guys now too. It's really an adult shoot but I'd encourage guys like Pre-13, Cadet (I know it's a long way) and Adam to come to Nebraska for some fun the last weekend in April each year.
