After running the 4H shooting sports program in my county for years I seen a lot of talented young marksmen.

What holds most of them back is parents and money.

It take support, time and money.

Most of the time the ball sports won out.

A lot of parents see "professional" ball players in their kids.

Parents even Hunting parents are willing to spend a lot of time and money on ball sports.

Very little on shooting sports.

Then when their children grow up and well not go hunting with them they wonder way.
