After 9 years of working night shift at the juvenile justice group home where I work as a counselor here in KY, got a promotion and moved to day shift. The local 4-H Archery club has jumped from 30 shooters last year to over 60 signed up this year, with about 10 trad shooters. They had been after me for 2 years to help them during weekly practice, but I was always working. I signed all the volunteer paperwork the other day, getting started the end of March. I will be helping tune all their bows, coach and mentor them, especially the trad. kids since onl 2-3 of us in the county shoot trad.Some of the kids dont have fathers in the picture, hope that this kind of activity will help keep some of them out of trouble. Drugs are a big problem along with lack of parenting in our area, all the youth I work with at the group home are drug addicts ages 13-19, and statistically, activities like this help keep kids of drugs and in school, give them a chance of being more successful.
I used to run a proshop/guns/gunsmithing shop for years, sold out after getting burned out dealing with the public so I have the equipement, history. I dont have a lot of spare time, but think this will pay off in the long run as there is a real need in the community, you guys keep me in your prayers, I aint as young and my patience aint what it used to be.
