Junior's Program

This program emphasizes safety, basic rifle skills, and the enjoyment of participating in shooting sports.

Shooters are rewarded as their skill level increases.

The program accepts new or experienced youth shooters ages 10-18 years.

This Program will be for 20 weeks, which consists of, one week of classroom instruction, eighteen weeks of shooting, and a fun night at the end of the season.

If any of the eighteen weeks are cancelled due to weather, they will be made up when/if possible.

Each night will be limited to fourteen shooters.

There will be one relay on Wednesday and one relay on Thursday evenings, starting at 6:00pm, each week throughout the program, beginning in October.

The program will have approximately two 9-week sessions with a break in between for the holidays.

Shooting will not be held when Laramie County Schools are closed or on vacation.

Sign-up is on a first come, first served basis. Sign-up online here
