Setting up shooting as THE safe alternative to football is hardly an honest thing to do. If one wants to get out and be social there are plenty of other extra-curricular activities and sports. If one is dead set on some sort of weapons training, why not archery or fencing?

How isn't it honest?
I know firsthand from shooting in family competitions where everyone was safe and as a result no one was harmed,and fun was had by all.
And I have also seen football injuries that have messed kids up for life (football is a full contact sport).
As for other sports take a look at gymnastics and cheerleading,those kids run the same risk as football players (to some extent an even higher rate of debilitating injuries)
Also as far as the "Social issue of bullying" where do most social issues start?
At the home....right?
