Serena’s latest article follows the journey of three college students who traveled with her to the range to learn gun safety and marksmanship. One had never shot before and the other two had very limited exposure. All three were generally more aware than they had ever been before of firearm safety following their trip to the range and were shocked by some of the things they learned. Each had a different perspective to offer and nearly all expect to continue at least casually in the shooting sports.
