Youth Programs

The youth trap shoot was held on May 17 under wet and cold conditions. A small but enthusiastic number of participants were present.

This shoot has become a great tradition for quite a few years and I hope it continues long after I hang up my guns. If shooting is to continue as a pastime for us all we MUST put our empathies into developing young shooters!

For many years the BPSA has sponsored a juniors program with the hopes of introducing our youth to the conservationists way of life. These young people are involved in a number of activities including bird box building and distribution, archery skills, tree planting, rifle and shotgun shooting with a major onus on safe handling, fish hatchery activities and even the stocking of wildlife such as wild turkeys and also feeding deer in extreme winters. Our traditions will only continue if we invest in our youth.

We teach youth to shoot .22 rifles with the aid of our Firearms members. We have several trained range officers for each young shooter to make sure these young members shoot and handle firearms safely. We have a strict set of rules and safety practices. Mom usually brings the kids to the range, so we put on a women's shoot for the moms. They love it.
