The Humboldt Sharpshooters has developed a program consisting of two parts.  We believe that a solid education in gun safety is the foundation for preventing gun accidents and the continuation of shooting sports.  Therefore, the first part of our program is a classroom curriculum that instructs the students in the basics of gun safety and handling.  We utilize the safety curriculum published by Daisy©.  Our curriculum focuses on the 10 Rules of Gun Safety, and includes both classroom instruction and hands-on participation activities.   The course does not replace the HuntSAFE Course, required by the state of South Dakota for kids to hunt.  However, our curriculum well prepares students to take the HuntSAFE Course.

The second part of our program focuses on competitive shooting.  The sport of competitive shooting is unique from all other sports in several ways.  Anyone can compete in shooting sports, regardless of height, weight, gender and age.  It can provide lifelong enjoyment as well as college and career opportunities. 

The Humboldt Sharpshooters currently instructs competitive shooting in 4 disciplines; BB Gun, Air Rifle, Air Pistol and Smallbore (.22).  Click on the buttons above to learn more about each discipline.
