KTSA Junior Shooting Program

The KTSA Junior Shooting Program is a six-session program designed to introduce youth to the fundamentals of target rifle shooting in a safe, structured and supportive environment.

Participants will learn the fundamentals of safe firearm handling and develop the skills needed to shoot accurately and consistently. Each week builds on the skills introduced in previous sessions, giving participants the opportunity to develop their confidence, technique and understanding of target shooting.

What We'll Cover

Safety & Firearm Handling
> Safety is the foundation of every session. Participants will learn the fundamentals of safe rifle handling, range commands, firearm safety procedures and how to respond appropriately to common firearm malfunctions.

Shooting Position & Stability
> Participants will learn how to establish a stable prone shooting position and develop a consistent setup that supports accuracy.

Trigger Control & Breathing
> Learn how breathing, trigger control and follow-through work together to produce a consistent shot.

Aiming & Natural Point of Aim
> Participants will learn how to align their sights, develop a proper sight picture and find their natural point of aim without relying on muscular tension.

Consistency & Shot Process
> Through repetition and guided practice, participants will develop a consistent shot process and learn how timing and rhythm can influence accuracy.

Reading Your Target
> Participants will learn how to look at their groups and use their target to identify areas where their position or technique may need adjustment.

Putting It All Together
> The final session will bring the skills together with review, practice and a fun, friendly shooting activity that allows participants to put what they've learned into practice.
