Junior Programs

Know a Good Ohio Junior Sports Shooting Program?

To insure the future of Ohio's Second Amendment rights, ORPA has always supported programs that train children in the safe use of firearms. To further its support of youth sports shooting ORPA plans to promote other Ohio junior programs. Under the leadership of trustee Shannon Cherry, ORPA will compile a resource website of youth programs including firearms safety courses, introductory shooting classes, junior teams, youth hunting days, gun clinics, etc. This website will provide information for families looking for youth programs in their area and will also create a forum for program directors to share ideas. If you know of any youth shooting programs in your area, please send the information to ORPA at: This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. P.O.
