Text Box: The Bayou Bounty Hunters embrace young shooters. We have had the pleasure of watching many young guns grow in the sport. We encourage our members to bring their children, grandchildren and other young people they share their lives with. You’ll find that the Bayou Bounty Hunters take time to teach and encourage each new shooter. The following is taken from the SASS Manual: • Juniors are persons aged 16 and under. The category may be subdivided by age and gender. Suggested divisions are “Young Guns” aged 14 through 16 and “Buckaroos” 13 and under. • Parental consent and supervision is required for all competitors under twenty-one years of age. • “Buckaroos” may use revolvers, rifles, and shotguns meeting the external standards but may be chambered in .22 LR for revolvers and rifles and .410 caliber for shotguns. Standard velocity ammunition for these firearms must be used. Knockdown targets are not required to fall for Buckaroo Category shooters. A hit will be scored as long as the target is clearly hit.

Youth Program

We have developed a youth program to introduce our sport

to young shooters under the supervision of a parent/guardian.

Our Goal: To introduce young people to the pleasures and responsibilities of the shooting sports within the framework of the traditional Old West while using single action revolvers, rifles and a shot gun. Our #1 priority is SAFETY. There will be qualified firearms instructors present and local range officers of the Bayou Bounty Hunters to assist in developing the shooting skills of these young folks. Our intent is to provide a family-friendly shooting environment which can be enjoyed by all.

The program is being presented as follows:

* The shooting competition is staged in a unique, characterized, "Old West" style.

* It is a timed sport in which shooters compete for prestige on a course of different shooting stages. Each scenario, as they are called, features an array of situations, many based on famous incidents or movies scenes, in which the shooters test their skills against steel targets.

* Our young shooters under the age of fourteen, who are referred to as buckaroos and buckaretts, can shoot 22 caliber revolvers and rifles and a 410 caliber shotgun. They will receive training in NRA safety instructions & Cowboy Acton Shooting orientation in order to embed the importance of SAFETY 1^st and FUN.
