The Junior Rifle 2003 Gun Safety Cookout

Contact Us
If there's a single underlying principle in our Junior Rifle Program, it's that parents and their kids need to know how to handle firearms safely and responsibly. It's not just our belief, it's a fact, that:
There is no safety in ignorance.
So, once a year, we make a special effort to teach all of our Kids, along with their Moms and Dads, how to safely handle and shoot a wide variety of firearms. And we show them that shooting guns responsibly is not only safe, but fun!
