Shooting club extends invite to all

The sun was high as returning members, new members and curious first timers gathered to step into the shooting box themselves at the Bearcats Shooting Club Invitational on Saturday in a clearing surrounded by corn on Pelzel Road.

Parents like Bret Vincent, who also helps assist the team, said the club offers something unique for kids.

“It just teaches kids to get familiar with a firearm so they’re comfortable around it,” he said. “Gun safety’s a big thing with us. It teaches kids how to be safe around guns, how to handle [them] correctly.”
