Beginner Rifle Training in North Texas

[TexasHorn7]

I am looking to have my daughter taught how to shoot a rifle properly. I don't expect her to be winning PRS matches after just a couple of lessons.

Goals:
- I want her to be capable of going deer hunting with me soon.
- safe gun handling is a must
- basic marksmanship

I guess we should ask- how old is your daughter? Appleseed requires youngsters to be able to SAFELY manipulate the rifle and controls. A 10/22 makes a great birthday or Christmas present..

Check your local American Legion Post they might have a junior Sports shooting program.

Check with your local 4H shooting groups in your area and also check with Scholastic Action Shooting Program as they offer basic marksmanship training although their goal is to train the youth to compete in organizes matches. You should have no problems finding a reputable team in Dallas as I have met some great groups during previous matches with my daughter competing against them.

SASP provides student athletes aged elementary through college with a supportive environment where shooting sports serve as catalysts for teaching life lessons and skills that emphasize positive character traits and citizenship values.

PS

Another benefit to joining these organizations is obtaining free or reduced priced ammo courtesy of NRA grants plus access to ranges normally closed to the public and ability for your kids to obtain much needed scholarship money for college which is a big thing with both these organizations.
