Where can a middle aged kid join a club or juniors program near the fort wayne area?
A friend's son wants to get into competitive shooting. They are looking into a 4H program and I wondered if anyone here knew of other structured regular programs for juniors nearby.
Thanks
Is that supposed to say middle-school aged kid? (I'm a "middle-aged kid," haha). There is a uspsa club that shoots just NE of Fort Wayne outside of Harlan. Next match is the 3rd Sunday in May (18th). We also have practice nights the 1st and 3rd Thursdays of each month (there's one in 2 days!), which are a great way to get introduced to the sport (https://www.indianagunowners.com/fo...ort-wayne-uspsa-thursday-practice-nights.html).
You can have your friend email me at ftw_uspsa@yahoo.com and I will answer any questions he may have. It is not a juniors-only event, but juniors are very welcome (and shoot in the Fort Wayne matches for free w/ a paying adult). The national organization, USPSA, also has a formal juniors program(USPSA Junior Program | The Official Junior Program of United States Practical Shooting Assoc.).
He can also "like" us on facebook (www.facebook.com/fwuspsa) for more information.
