Information for Adult Leaders

Incorporate shooting basics into your youth program. Here's some tips to help get started:

Beginning shooters must be supervised by a qualified adult — parent, Scout leader, camp director or firearms instructor at a shooting range.
Call ahead to your local range, making sure it has the facilities you need for your activity.
If you are not familiar with local ranges, find a range near you at www.wheretoshoot.org.
The riflery challenge can be shot at an indoor or outdoor rifle range.
Schedule your outing.
Prepare your group by reviewing the rules of firearms safety.
Arrange to have a qualified instructor direct your group. Many ranges can provide an instructor if you can not provide one on your own.
If your group wants to continue shooting, find out about the National Shooting Sports Foundation's Scholastic Shooting Programs.
