Competitive Youth BB Gun Riflemen Program

Harrisburg Hunters’ and Anglers’ Association has a strong commitment to our youth and has demonstrated this through their support of our numerous youth programs. We are pleased to continue our support of the BB Gun Program for youth ages 8 through 15, aging out on their 16th birthday.

 
We are very excited about this program. This program has been around since 1965. It has a very long tradition of teaching gun safety, creating self-discipline, the spirit of competition and having fun while you are learning. This program is a mixture of both shooting and learning gun safety, as well as the operation of a BB Gun and all the rules that encompass BB Gun competition.
 
After the Daisy BB Gun Safety Course portion of the program is completed, we begin the competition portion of the program and practice through April. The Club provides most of the materials needed. As with all of the youth programs, you do not need to be a member of the club to participate. Please tell anyone that may be interested in this program. The more youth we have that are properly educated about guns and gun safety, the brighter the future will be, as well as gun programs for the future.
 
The Daisy BB Gun Safety Course is mandatory each year for all competitive shooters. This class begins on the 3rd Wednesday of October each year and is held from 6:15 to 8:30 pm through the end of December. We meet on Wednesdays and Fridays in November and just Wednesdays in December. The location for these classes is the indoor archery range (upstairs in the clubhouse). Our competition season begins January 2nd each year and runs through the end of April (plus the first Saturday of May, which is our end of season event/party). Regular season practices are held every Wednesday and Friday with 5 or 6 Saturdays or Sundays for competitions. (Those dates and times are announced when we receive them, which is usually 2 weeks prior to the competition.) If the team qualifies in the top 3 at the Pennsylvania State Match, a team of 7 will have post-season practices to prepare for their trip to the Daisy National B Gun Match in Rogers, Arkansas, over July 4th weekend.
