Turkey Shoot 2017...

Although this isn't the only reason we do Cub Scouts, it is one of the very best parts.

Every year, our neighboring town, hosts the Turkey Shoot. There is really no turkey hunting taking place, but the boys get to participate in all kinds of hunting related activities. They learned gun safety, how to load BB guns, they had slingshot and archery competitions, they built cross-bows, they practiced target shooting and all of this while doing it with the daddies, friends and wearing camo.... in my neck of the woods, this is every little boy's dream!


Learning about different animals from the game warden and checking out their skins














Learning how to load BBs


Loading his BB gun all by hisself!











I just love seeing all these sweet boys outside in the sunshine, going back to basics of what it truly means to be a boy, spending time with their dads... there is just not enough of this these days! I am a bit old fashioned- I think we all know that- but I truly believe these are skills boys were meant to learn!

They all look so happy. The smiles speak a thousand words. Maybe this is how Randy developed his love of guns. It’s a wonderful organization. So proud of the boys! Love y’all!
