    I'm a retired Scoutmaster, and would love to see a Scout group in action, but trying to skate in that way seems awkward.

    You ran shooting for Scouts? Thank you. My introduction to shooting back in the day was through a Scout camp rifle range, and I STILL have some old targets and NRA medals/patches that bring back good memories. (And the merit badge too, of course. )

    Don't pick a fight with an old man. If he is too old to Fight, he'll just kill you.

    What is the deal with the "no jacketed ammo?" Never heard of that before.

    The ammo requirement surprised me also. If anything I'd have expected NO unjacketed ammo due to lead concerns. The member who mentioned it also said something to the effect that most members reloaded anyway, so it was no big deal.
