Youth shooting sports involve organized activities where young people learn to safely handle and shoot firearms, such as rifles and shotguns. These programs often focus on developing skills in marksmanship, safety, and sportsmanship. Participants may compete in various events, including rifle shooting, trap shooting, and skeet shooting. Many youth shooting sports programs are affiliated with organizations like the National Rifle Association (NRA) or 4-H, which provide training and resources. These programs aim to instill discipline, responsibility, and teamwork among participants while promoting a positive attitude towards firearms and their safe use.
