Since I'm typically a massive troll, I'll be serious for a moment and mention that I grew up around guns and all that shit. I went to two elementary schools, and the Wikipedia entry for one of those is the following:
Most children in the area attend Forbush Elementary School, a kindergarten through eighth-grade community school at Bloomtown Road and Old U.S. 421. The school, which first opened in 1935, is a source of pride in the community. The school's hunter's safety team has won the National Junior Youth Hunter Education Challenge, a National Rifle Association sponsored event, six times: 1989, 1990, 2005, 2006, 2007,2008 and 2009.[18] The 2007 team compiled a score of 7,580, 792 points over the second-place team from Utah, and took honors in all events.
The event's only been held since like 1985 or something, so 6 out of 25 isn't so bad for winning nationals. The other elementary school I went to was Fall Creek, and there's this big thing each year between Forbush Elementary and Fall Creek Elementary because both of the shooting teams are so damn good, but one of them has to get beat out by the other at the state tournament, so both don't get to go to nationals.
My high school was Forbush High School, and they've won nationals for the high school competition a lot, too. I decided to look it up for every year since when I graduated high school just for the lols.
2003 - Forbush Elementary wins second at nationals. Forbush High School also wins second.
2004 - Two of the top 3 elementary school individuals live on the same road as my parents, each less than two miles away in each direction. Forbush High School wins third in nationals, Fall Creek Elementary wins second.
2005 - Forbush Elementary and Forbush High School both win nationals.
2006 - Forbush Elementary and Forbush High School both win nationals. Again.
2007 - Forbush Elementary wins again, Forbush High School places second. Top three individual scores for the elementary school competition are within 5 miles of me.
2008 - Forbush Elementary wins again, Forbush High School doesn't place. Top three individual scores for the elementary school competition are within 5 miles of me. Again.
2009 - Forbush Elementary wins nationals for the fifth year in a row. Forbush High School wins nationals for the third time in five years. Only two of the top three individuals for the elementary school competition are within 5 miles of me. Maybe they're slipping?
2010 - Forbush Elementary was beat in the state finals by another NC team which later won nationals. Forbush High School won third place. Two of the top three individuals in both the elementary school and high school divisions were from North Carolina.
Since someone always asks, I'll go ahead and say that there is no low-end age restriction for the elementary school competition. You just have to be 14 years old or younger at the time of the competition (it's held in the summer at the end of the school year). With that having been said, you have to be at least 11 to be on any of the elementary school shooting teams around here, and 12 to be allowed to compete with the team.
In b4 rednecks that can shoot straight while fucking their sister.
Also, I've only been shot at once in my life. I was in some woods I didn't know too well and got really close to a guy's still (that I didn't know was there) and he happened to be there and didn't appreciate it very much.
