I'm helping a troop of Boy Scouts to get their Marksmanship Badges on Saturday.

They'll learn on .22 lr's.....but after they get that out of the way.....

They'll get a class on both the AK system and the AR system...... :D

Everyone should get some trigger time on both systems.

The last time I did this, they also got some M1 Garand training too.

I swear, I've never seen bigger smiles on faces than when you hand an AK to a 11 year old kid and show him how to operate it and then give him the responsibility to load the mag into the rifle and charge it himself.

"Wolverines!" :cool:

Love it, I think our scout master and his damned single shot 12 ga scared more people away from shooting than anything else I have encountered. Yeah, lets give an 80 pound kid a 6 pound shotgun with 1 1/4 of #8's in it and see if they want to become shooters. Still riles me.
