Purpose of this Resource Page
These organizations recognized that each had their strengths, but individually they do not provide a single source of information or support for starting up school shooting programs. This web page is the ‘one stop shop’ for information and support to startup school shooting programs.
The issues to starting up school shooting programs are:
- Finding or building shooting facilities
- Funding for facilities, guns and equipment, competition travel, etc.
- Acquisition of guns and equipment (what to get, where to get it)
- Startup ‘how-to’ information (check lists, success stories, etc.)
