FUN news for our youth shooters.

Myself, Cruze, Chris Zeeb & Roger Terrell have been talking (scary I know)
but we all agreed that we should somehow involve youth shooters in Rock’N
Thunder..So here is the plan.

Starting with the Jan. 14th event we will allow youth shooters ages 11-18 to
compete, (18 and over are in the adult field). This will be a trial run for
something New and Exciting here at Thunder Alley.

The youth shooters will be in their own division (Junior Division)
and will only be allowed to shoot a .22 caliber pistol (can be either
semi-auto or revolver). (this does not mean adults can shoot a .22cal sorry
RT)

ALL Junior Division shooters MUST be accompanied on the firing line
by a legal parent or guardian on the range, there won’t be any exceptions to
this. Junior shooters will adhere to all range rules and course rules the
same as adults. ANY non-compliance with safety rules will be cause for
elimination and/or removal from the range.

Junior Division will be timed and scored the same as the adult
division. Juniors will be worked through the stages the same as other
shooters so parents/guardians be prepared to be here for two or more rounds
for you both to compete. Parents/Guardians be prepared for your time slot by
having your youth shooter’s safety gear, magazines etc. ready when their
names are called.

Junior Division will NOT be eligible to win a firearm (there will be
separate prizes for the Junior Division if they are here two of the next
three events).

We want this to run as smooth as possible. As I said at the beginning this
will be a trial run. If it does not work at first we will adjust accordingly
as we go so your support and patience will definitely be helpful.
I feel this will allow us to properly introduce our youth to competition
and give them a positive perspective with firearms that they are not able to
get anywhere else. Let’s make this a positive experience and have fun!
