<p>This is a shot in the dark, but I'm wondering if anyone knows anything about this organization? I would really be interested in joining, but it seems like its more oriented towards older (21+) folks; as such, it seems like the application process is rather difficult: requires NRA membership for you or a member of your family, and requires a Mass Firearm ID or License-to-Carry (the latter of which is rather difficult to acquire in Cambridge, and requires you to be 21+). Now, I come from Chicago, where firearm ownership or even operation is strictly forbidden, so no one in my family is an NRA member. But I've always been interested in target shooting.</p>

<p>So does anyone else share my interest? I would love to join the team, but I doubt I would shoot that great. I probably should just send them an email.</p>

<p>i've never held a gun in my life, but I'm still interested in this sport. I wonder how many ppl like me there are.</p>

<p>Not entirely on-topic, because I don't know anything about the team (although I'm sure they'd be happy to answer emails :)), but you can take a pistol</a> PE class. I've had a few friends take it and really enjoy it.</p>

<p>I am in almost the exact same situation. What sort of shooting are you interested in? I hear MIT's team is extremely competitive, though.</p>

<p>ah really? too bad then. I don't really know <em>anything</em> about shooting, but i'd like to try some. I have no clue which type of shooting I'd like.</p>
