Season 2 - Episode 33 - 2A Venture Hunting Crew .30-06 - a podcast by Heidi Lyn Rao

The 2nd Amendment Teen Hunters Model is based on recruiting young members of a supporting organization between the ages of 14-21.  This model is far different from many of the existing "one and done" programs currently offered through hunting and shooting sports youth organizations.  Unfortunately, many of these programs focus on first-time hunters, so after a youth participates in a hunt, he or she is no longer eligible to take part in future opportunities.

The 2nd Amendment Teen Hunters Model is a multi-year program that provides young people with recurring opportunities to experience hunting for different species using all different hunting methods and to take part in all different shooting disciplines.  It ultimately gives young people the opportunity to earn different NRA Instructor credentials and certifications.

The organization used to support this model is through Scouting - a Venture Crew focused solely on Hunting and recruiting trained leaders and members.  Venture Hunting Crew .30-06 was formed and has successfully participated in several youth shooting and hunting activities, through their highly vetted and trained members.
