Junior shooting competitions are events designed for young participants, typically aged 8 to 18, to showcase their marksmanship skills. These competitions often include various shooting disciplines, such as rifle, pistol, and shotgun events. Participants compete in a safe and controlled environment, following strict safety guidelines to ensure their well-being and that of others. These competitions can take place at local, regional, or national levels, providing opportunities for juniors to earn recognition and develop their skills. Many organizations, such as the National Rifle Association (NRA) and USA Shooting, support these events, promoting sportsmanship and discipline among young shooters.
