I got a lot of good ideas from this thread, I am going to check out 4H and jr. shooter programs.

I read that the shooting sports are declining - mainly hunting. The article may have been wrong, i don't know. But it's odd to me that we want to promote the sport but at least in my area we really make it expensive to get your kids into shooting.

The clubs where I'm at have $400 initial fee and $175 yearly fee. That is pretty expensive.

Compare that to other kids activities and it is just really expensive.
