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 shotgunning challenge requires a trap or skeet field.
Schedule your outing.
Prepare your group by reviewing rules of firearms safety.
Arrange to have a qualified instructor direct your group. The range 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.
Leaders may submit any standard score sheet for skeet. For trap, use the program's official trap score sheet.
