Junior Program Information

Junior programs are available across the state and offer a variety of disciplines. These include air rifle and smallbore target shooting, as well as scholastic clay and scholastic action shooting (steel target) programs.

GOAL offers a scholastic action shooting program introduction clinic, which instructs clubs how to set up and run a scholastic action-shooting program. These programs are very popular with youth as they are fast paced and provide instant results. If your GOAL Affiliated Club would like to learn more, or schedule one of these clinics, please contact our Director of Education Jon Green.

GOAL also has steel targets that are available for loan to affiliated clubs, please see below for more information.

Scholastic Action Shooting Program (SASP)

Gun Owners’ Action League is committed to helping expand the SASP in Massachusetts!

Thanks to a generous donation from the Scholastic Action Shooting Program, GOAL has a complete set of steel targets that we use for introductory events. GOAL affiliated clubs are welcome to borrow the target set and stands for club days/events that wish to introduce young shooters and families to this great scholastic sport. All of this equipment is loaded into the GOAL trailer so it’s as easy as hooking up and driving off. Targets are available on a first come first served basis. The club is responsible for the proper use and care of the targets and or trailer. Targets are for .22 caliber, 9mm and 38spl only. The targets and trailer are to be used for SASP purposes only. Participating clubs agree to pay for any damages caused by improper use. Please contact Jon Green for more information regarding our SASP loaner program.
