“In today’s political climate, the mere mention of high school and shooting and all of that in the same sentence kind of throws people for a spin,” Robbins said. “Once we explain to everybody what we’re doing — we’re not teaching them combat shooting, we’re not teaching them stock and sniper training.
“We’re teaching them mental discipline and physical concentration, and it just so happens they’re shooting a .22. These aren’t granddad’s squirrel rifles.”

"These aren’t granddad’s squirrel rifles."
I bet my granddad would have shot squirrel with the Winchester 52D or Walther GX1 I used in high school. Put a post insert in the tube front sight, maybe open up the rear aperture a bit ...
