Texas and hunting have long gone hand in hand. As more young boys are raised within the city limits, the need for skilled instruction in proper shooting technique, hunter safety and hunting ethics has increased.

Hunter Safety at La Junta is a combination of shotgun shooting and safe hunting information. All skill levels in Hunter Safety combine shooting skills with safe hunting tests. After establishing a basic skill level, each camper receives extensive instruction and practice in the safe use of various types of hunting firearms, from shotguns to deer rifles. Campers learn new shooting positions, shoot 100 yard targets and try their hand at skeet shooting.

The goal of our shooting sports programs is to produce a boy who knows how to hunt, respect his firearm and use a variety of firearms safely and effectively.
