Some of you that were bemoaning the demise of the Boy Scouts may be interested in a few observations that I have had in the last ten days here at the Whittington Center.

When I got here, there was a group of young people that were always wearing pink camo t-shirts. Some were girls some were not. They were getting instruction over the course of several days at trap skeet, 5-stand, and sporting clays. After several days, I finally passed them walking down the road and realized their t-shirts were emblazoned with Philmont Scout Ranch insignia. Obviously, there is some scouting activities coordinated with the NRA.

Today, we were up on the Blue Course shooting clays for fun, and a group of scouts headed to Philmont from Cleveland were coming out. We stopped to talk to one of the near-Eagle Scouts and his dad that had just experienced clay shooting for the first time. They were estatic about shooting shotguns. They were just hanging out at the center to acclimate to elevation for a few days before continuing to Philmont.

In any event, it looks like at least some scouts are getting into shooting. The end of scouting and life as we know it may not be imminent.

It's a brave new world. Did you show them any of your classic single shots, and offer to give vot'in pointers?

Nope. But I did hand them my Cashmore and let them swing it around a little bit and see what they thought about it. They were quite interested in gun fit because they thought it might be one of the reasons that they shot so poorly and got so bruised with the rented guns that they had. They were tall and thin people that certainly needed long LOPs.

We also directed them to the range where the 22 BPCRA national championships will begin tomorrow morning. We told them they would see the most amazing number of custom rifles anywhere on the planet.. I don't know if they went or not. But there were many people down there, sighting in and preparing for tomorrow's start of the matches.

What would you have done?

Not assumed their genders? I mean, a Supreme Court Justice told us straight out she couldn’t figure that out, how can you?

Best,
Ted

Our club supports the Boy Scouts in our area also. I don't see so many of them shooting, but they are always camping on our campgrounds and use it constantly. A couple of weeks ago there were 15 to 20 tents out on the campgrounds and it looks like they were all having a lot of fun. So good for them.

You are such a jerk Ted. But, apparently, you are a woke jerk.

I did not ask your opinion, but you continue to never disappoint. Now, report back to Stanley.

I already did it. Maybe one of those scouts will find you later and ask, a quick search shows your screen name votes lock step antigun, are you trying to trick us? What are you going to tell kids, jimmy made me do it, or bs them about, nope my stuff is exempt?

You can connect my screen name to my voting record?

That is not even a good lie. Obviously you would have done nothing. Another keyboard coward.

Great opening for your merit badge lesson.

And here, you do even less.

What did Stan tell you to post?

Have you ANYTHING constructive to say? I thought not. Just pure negativity.
