Well, here in Norway we don’t have an Appleseed program, but when I was a kid and joined the local shooting team (at 25 meters, only iron sights, 22LR indoor and 30–06 outdoor for the 16 years and above) I had much fun, and learnt a hell of a lot more about gun safety and protocol than any other place since. From what I have heard Appleseed is somewhat like that, so I would give it a spin :) Just be to have a talk with the kids and emphasize that guns can be a very dangerous thing, and safety is of the utmost importance beforehand .
