PEOPLE. this is a great thing take your kids see what they think. if they may want to try it ask at the club they probably will have some youth shotguns for them to use. Our club that sponsors the School trap team here gets shells for 2.50/box either feds or win your choice and we have many OLD timers that will help with the kids.
I juist took some training over by Knoxville so I can help Coach the trap team here. and yesterday I had to join the ATA and shoot for average. (talk about that later). But I am ready to go and so are the kids.

you want to see a kid straighten up and concentrate, give him a 12 ga and throw some birds.

We do it from 3rd grade to 12th. These kids are great.

I got some pointers from a 12 yr old girl. I have never shot compettively before and she has so I listened and improved. This little lady gets picked on by some of the boys but she gets back at them on the range. she shoots 93 and 94 consistently. Even the old timers just shake their heads.

Remember get involved with the kids.
