class or program for my "little" lady?

[ShovelGuy79]

Hello all. I'm down around the Bloomington area and was wondering if anyone had info on a club or business that offered a firearms program for kids. I have a 10yr old daughter that is getting into firearms and i think you can never have enough GOOD firearms training and information. Thought it would be nice for her to hear from another knowledgeable person other than just I. Thanks

Just a short drive down I-69 is Redbrush Rifle Range in Newburgh, IN. They do a one day Youth Fest every June. Free firearms training. Here is a link to the 2012 info.

We'll be running multiple Appleseed shoots just north of Bedford this year on the new range there. 10 is the perfect age to bring them out to a 'Seed.

Talk to Coach Home Page or the guys at ACT Adaptive Consulting & Training

I know she would be happy with either one.

Bring her to Riley and have her try Steel Challenge or Rimfire madness. My 11 yr old daughter did both last year and loved it.

Check out your local 4H chapter. The one in Allen County has a great program.

She will need to take a hunters ed course to be in 4H shooting sports, so get her into a class as soon as possible. Good program, I am a certified 4H Muzzle Loader Instructor, and this is a great program for kids.
