Welcome, tiny travelers, to the petite yet punchy state of Rhode Island, a little nugget of awesomeness squished between Connecticut and Massachusetts. Rhode Island is the size of a baby dragon's hiccups, but it boasts of brawny beaches, enchanting lighthouses, and mouthwatering clam chowder that could make a sea turtle tap-dance! One of the coolest things about this magical micro-state is the gang of riflery-loving kiddos, who are as sharp-shooting as they are sharp-witted. And leading this pack of pint-sized sharpshooters is, believe it or not, a fabulous and furiously funny squirrel named Sam Spangles. Sam, you see, is not your ordinary run-of-the-mill squirrel. He's got a cowboy hat as wide as a pancake and boots as shiny as a newly minted penny. He coaches the kids in riflery, cracking nutty jokes and making the kids snort with laughter. "Why did the bullet go to school?" he'd quip, winking his sparkly eyes, "Because it wanted to be a little sharper!" And while the kids laughed, they also learned. Sam's inventive and engaging teaching methods have turned these Rhode Island rascals into some of the best little riflery enthusiasts in all America. In their hands, a rifle isn't just a piece of equipment, it's a storymaker, a confidence booster, a tool for learning about responsibility and discipline. Under Sam's guidance, these Rhode Island kids are hitting the bullseye not just on the riflery range, but also in their day-to-day lives. So, strap on your funniest squirrel-sized boots and join us in Rhode Island, where the chowder is clamtastic, the views are fantastic, and the riflery is simply nut-tastic!
