I wasn't too sure what to expect as I drove through the gates of Rabbit Creek Shooting Park on my way to learn more about kids and shotguns and how to combine the two with positive outcomes. It was Tuesday night, time for the weekly practice of knocking clay pigeons out of the sky.
Rabbit Creek Youth Shotgun League coach Ginamaria Smith was already there with her husband, Kyle, and the two were trying to organize kids into groups and make sure everyone had eye and ear protection and a vest for the pockets-full of shells each gun required.
The kids scrambled to grab gloves and hats and headed to the storage room, where 12- and 20-gauge shotguns lined the walls. |

TO REMEMBER |
| After having thus successively taken each member of the community in its powerful grasp and fashioned him at will, the supreme power then extends its arm over the whole community. It covers the surface of society with a network of small, complicated rules, minute and uniform, through which the most original minds and the most energetic characters cannot penetrate, to rise above the crowd. The will of man is not shattered, but softened, bent, and guided; men seldom forced by it to act, but they are constantly restrained from acting. Such a power does not destroy, but it prevents existence; it does not tyrannize, but it compresses, enervates, extinguishes, and stupefies a people, till each nation is reduced to nothing better than a flock of timid and industrious animals, of which the government is the shepherd. — Alexis de Tocqueville |
