this is a video of Orion. A big 15yr old kid who I finally persuaded to try shooting an airgun and now he thinks it's cool. First it was "I don't want to shoot bb guns" and "i'm not a kid" "i don't play with toys". Well after letting him sit and watch me for a sec, after hearing it give a smack down on a blue recycle trash can well lets just say his curiosity won.
I am not a teacher by far. When I graduated from SS school in the Corps, we are able to be instructors. But that isn't me. That is until I started to reach out to kids. Kids who may not have a mom/dad or positive role model. Kids (and they don't have to be inner city either) who need guidance. Who need someone or thing that lets them be kids instead of some tough guy/gal. Someone/thing that says/tells them that you don't have to have a jumpshot, a good bat/ball arm, be a "gangsta" or that they don't have to be/use sexual/sexuality like the media portrays to our youth as to how they should be. I just want the youth to have a chance to experience this thing of ours (Airgunning). I want people who are anti-gun owning or whatever that its ok to take a kid fishing/hunting.
I am not Christian nor connected to any religious affiliation. Even though I was saved in a Christian church, I do believe that there is a God Almighty. And when people say that there is no atheists in foxholes, believe me brothers/sisters, they're not.
My whole reason for writing this is because if someone didn't do it for me, I may have been dead before 18, been a junkie, been in jail or been the kid who had a mask on wanting your car, your wallet and/or your life. The man who did this for me died 08/09/2011. His name: DAD. I miss and love you.

if you manage to keep just one kid off the streets, at the same time making a friend ,and bringing another potential airgunner to the sport, you've accomplished more than most. keep up the good work.

Well done William, way too many kids don't have that example in their lives much less a Dad. My Father taught me what it is to be a man. It's sad so few youths have that anymore,you set a good example for the rest of us. Your a heck of a marksmen by the way

I just now saw this video, great job William! I picked up a few shooting tips from you too. I hope Orion sticks with it and shoots with you again.
Be sure to post the video of him out-shooting you in a month or two.
