WACO Shooting Sports head coach Tom McNamar says when using firearm’s for sport, safety is the number one guideline. “One of the coolest things about shooting sports is that it is actually the safest activities any young person can be involved in.” McNamar said, “There is so little injury involvement in shooting sports because we do take safety very seriously.”
