Start Your Own Shooting Education Program Daisy airguns have, for over 125 years, been the first gun for most shooters. Today’s most accomplished marksmen and most successful hunters will tell you they got started in the shooting sports with a Daisy BB gun. It all starts here…with a Daisy. For youngsters interested in match competition shooting, it all starts with Daisy’s 5-meter BB gun shooting education program. Working with premier conservation, civic and religious organizations nationwide, Daisy has developed the curriculum and the products to teach shooting safety and marksmanship skills to hundreds of thousand of young people annually. 5-meter match competitors compete not just locally but at the state level in order to qualify to shoot at the U.S. National BB Gun Championship, sponsored by Daisy. The “Daisy Nationals” is the nation’s largest and longest continuously-running BB gun competition. This year’s U.S. National BB Gun Championship will be held in Rogers, Arkansas, home of Daisy Outdoor Products and the Daisy Airgun Museum. Young people competing in 10-meter sporter three-position rifle or pistol matches can earn college scholarships or even a position on the team which represents our nation at World Cup and the Olympic Games. The road to the “Daisy Nationals”, to a college scholarship or to international competition begins with the right equipment, the right curriculum and dedicated coaches. The commitment is great but so are the rewards. We appreciate the opportunity to work with you; perpetuating a great sport, providing a wholesome activity for youth and teaching skills which will last a lifetime. Daisy stands ready to assist qualifying organizations in establishing a shooting education program.
