High School Shooters: This Will Set The Antis Teeth On Edge

The Robinson High School rifle team, Fairfax, Va., teaches leadership, responsibility, and scholarship, and has been operating for more than 25 years without an injury or mishap.

Says team coach Robert "Bob" Hardy: "Our rifle is a tennis racket, is a lacrosse stick, is a field hockey stick . . . that's what it is. And the kids use that device to get a score, and to get a letter, or maybe they get a scholarship. So it's not viewed as a gun. We don't use the word."

"A safe -- and competitive -- club sport for these skilled high school students," says the reporter.

One of thousands of positive stories about youth and firearms. At least this story was told.
