The rebirth of the True American Pastime.
Baseball is, in almost every way, perfect; nothing beats sitting in your favorite ballpark, watching your favorite team with a hot dog in one hand and an ice-cold beer in the other. Since 1839, nothing has been more symbolic of American culture, right?
Before baseball, parents took their children to different types of bonding activities — events that not only taught them accountability and resourcefulness, but also pride, trustworthiness, and responsibility. At as young as 4 years old, fathers took their sons and daughters hunting — and it wasn’t always for sport; it was for survival. Families had to rely on their skills to bring home food to provide enough nourishment for entire winters. Children were, at times, solely responsible for the survival of their loved ones, based on their shooting skills.
Just as baseball has gone through changes, so has the art of shooting (albeit one may have more polarizing sides than the other). The reactions to putting a firearm in the hands of a child have become less of expectation and more of shock and fear. The discipline and focus that’s required with marksmanship, combined with the potential lethality, not only causes a hyper-ulcer in the stomachs of anti-2A supporters, but it’s also rewritten the path of availability for youth to partake in this cultural touchstone.
Realizing the vacancy in proper and available firearms training for youth, Precision Rifle Series, in partnership with C&H Precision Weapons and PRIME Ammo, launched PRS Kidz — a program focused on teaching firearms safety to children and their parents, all while providing young shooters with a fun experience in a safe and family-friendly environment.
