Because You Asked ...
Safely Teaching Your
Kids About Guns & Hunting
GRR often gets questions not just about fishing -- but also about hunting -- especially about how to go about teaching kids about guns and gun safety. We feel learning from a professional in a safe setting is the way to go and wanted to tell you about Shot Tec. This outfit can safely help you teach your kids of any age ... and even adults ... about guns. We hope this helps you find the answers you seek and the guidance you need.
In Video 1, Joe introduces Grant, owner of Shot Tec, located just over the Schuylkill on Rock Hill Road in Bala Cynwyd. Shot Tec specializes in helping both adults and kids learn the basics to various types of guns and gun safety in a controlled virtual setting using a spectacular simulator that will start you on your way.
In Video 2 you get a tour inside Shot Tec -- including the retail & virtual learning area.
You'll also get to see where Joe's set up a special God'z Rod'z & Reel'z spot inside Shot Tec for anglers' basic fishing needs including bait!
Shot Tec is located just across the river from Manayunk/Roxborough at 230 Rock Hill Rd in Bala Cynwyd.
