Local Girl Scouts and troop leaders learned the basics of firearm safety and tried shooting a .22 caliber rifle courtesy of the Franklin Revolver and Rifle Association.
The event began in the classroom with National Rifle Association (NRA)-certified instructors teaching the basics of firearms safety and handling.
Each participant was assigned a personal coach to try firing a .22 rifle.
Many styles of .22 rifles were available, including single shot, bolt action, lever action and semi-automatic. Some had a scope. Some were light and a few were very heavy.
The NRA and its affiliates have helped provide ammunition and ear and eye protection for such events.
Members of the Franklin Revolver and Rifle Association, a gun club in Franklin, donated their time and expertise.
There was no cost to participants.
