One of America's favorite firearm brands, Henry Repeating Arms, has teamed up with one of America's favorite firearms YouTubers, 22Plinkster, to create a video guide to gun safety that all would-be shooting mentors should watch. Hosted by trick shooter and brand ambassador Dave Nash--better known as 22Plinkster--the video stands as a primer for not just how to mentor new shooters, but why.

Whether you're a parent or grandparent introducing the basics of gun safety to the kids in your care, all of you (student and teacher) gain powerful benefits from properly introducing new shooters to the sport. There's very little that's more rewarding than teaching this critical life skill in a positive way. This video extolls the benefits of being involved in these sports when introduced properly, lists many of the nation’s most impactful safety and educational programs, and reviews the line of youth model rifles and shotguns offered by Henry Repeating Arms.

“America has a long history of instilling life skills in youth through shooting sports and hunting, and part of our mission is to provide a gateway for passing down this heritage safely and responsibly,” says Anthony Imperato, Founder and CEO of Henry Repeating Arms. “We are committed to championing organizations that allow more youth to get involved and get outdoors. The future strength of our country depends on it.”

As part of the company’s 25th anniversary celebrations, Henry Repeating Arms donated over $1,000,000 to a variety of organizations, several of which are mentioned in the video, including the Youth Shooting Sports Alliance and the Eddie Eagle GunSafe Program. It's clear that the Silver Anniversary may have passed, but Henry's not done giving back to American shooters!
