STEWARDSHIP IN RECREATIONAL SHOOTING MAKING COMEBACK…

Once upon a time, it was an everyday thing. Stewardship. Parents taught their children and they taught theirs. It was a ‘thing’. It was tradition.

While much of it still remains, and is demonstrated from time to time, the values of Stewardship seem to be fading. Fading into a faint glimpse of what is perceived to be an ‘old school’ way of thinking. It’s a kind of thing that’s still in a box, in a time when we’re told to think outside of said box.

Traditional Stewardship, however, works and works well. It has withstood the test of time and is a proven tradition that builds character, responsibility, ethics, values and sportsmanship. It is the primary solution to the concerns we face in public land recreational shooting. For without Stewardship, we will loose the privilege and will loose tradition.

High praises to those who volunteered and supported Stewardship this Saturday, August 12, 2017 in Yacolt Burn State Forest! Forty volunteers got it done and had a great time doing it!
