Tioga County, PA Youth Field Day August 18, 2012.

[Adam Helmer]

Youth Field Day Update:

We had 141 kids, each with an adult sponsor, last Saturday at Ives Run, PA. It was sunny and 73 degrees. I capped 546 muzzleloaders, walked 7.2 miles per my pedometer, and all the kids and adults shot at our balloons.

I am now the Chairman of the Muzzleloader station and we are upgrading our five muzzleloaders and going to swaged .50 caliber roundballs. The former chairman cast all the "alleged" .50 caliber balls, but they seemed undersized to me.

All the kids and adult sponsors vote, or will someday vote, and I think all gun owners benefitted.
