"Shattering Negative Perceptions of Guns" "Some 1,500 young Tennessee shooters are shattering more than clay targets. They're shattering negative perceptions of guns and shooting," writes The Tennessean's Larry Wood. The Scholastic Clay Target Program, he writes, is "evidence that with proper education, supervision and care, guns are safe." As SCTP continues to grow each year, it is producing a growing number of positive stories in the media about youths, firearms and safety. A great example: On Nashville's WKRN, the evening news featured an encouraging story of a young female shooter that attended SCTP's recent Junior Olympic Development Camp.
