They're setting their sights, putting their finger on the trigger and firing.

These kids may only be middle or high school age, but they're learning the ins and outs of outdoor safety.

"They enjoy it so very much simply because it's a one on one experience. While they're on the firing line they have one instructor assigned to them," says Major Maurice Langston of the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office.

Living in Wakulla County, or Sportsman's Paradise as many know it, these kids say it's hard not to know your way around a gun.

But making sure safety is a priority, is what this week-long summer camp is all about.

"Some people do not take it wisely. I've seen friends get shot and all that because they weren't being safe. So I believe everyone should learn how to control a gun," says high schooler Ryan Kelley.

But for 13-year--old Albert Smythe, it's not just about learning how to control a gun, he says this week means more than that to him.

Probably being here with my Dad and sharing this experience with him," says Albert Smythe.

Anything from shotguns, handguns, archery to semi automatics, this is the epitome of hands on learning.

The instructors even gave me the chance to try out the powerful AR15 and lets just say it has some kick.

The camp is being put on by the Wakulla County Sheriff's Office.
