The Junior USA Shooting Team patch program provides a great opportunity for youth to get started in the safe fun of target shooting. Beginners earn an official riflery patch from the Junior USA Shooting team while learning safety and shooting basics.

Before getting started, participants must know the basic rules of firearm safety:

1. Always keep the muzzle pointed in a safe direction.

2. Firearms should be be unloaded with actions open when not actually in use.

3. Don't rely on your gun's "safety." Keep your fingers off the trigger until ready to shoot.

4. Be sure of your target and what's beyond it.

5. Use correct ammunition.

6. If your gun fails to fire when the trigger is pulled, handle with care!

7. Always wear eye and ear protection when shooting.

8. Be sure the barrel is clear of obstructions before shooting.

9. Don't alter or modify your gun, and have guns serviced regularly.

10. Learn the mechanical and handling characteristics of the firearm you are using.
