Weekly youth shooting program held in Carson City

A weekly shotgun shooting program coached by nationally certified 4-H, NRA, and YSSA shotgun coaches is open to kids in grades 6-12.

The program meets at 6 p.m. Fridays at Capitol City Gun Club, 3590 Arrowhead Drive.

Its focus is on gun safety, shooting basics and rules of the games. No prior experience is necessary, but a parent or legal guardian must be present.
