Shooting Sports Manual *NEW 2022* 

 Shooting Sports Manual  

This revised manual replaces all previous versions and has a revision date of 1/2022. The updated BSA Shooting Sports Manual clarifies who can operate which types of shooting sports programs for which BSA program level. It also serves to clarify the proper supervision and qualifications needed for unit coordinated shooting sports programs.

Unfortunately, the appendices in the above manual for the NRA BSA Rifle and Shotgun MB instructor that were included are not the latest information. These will be corrected ASAP, but please use the information below to replace these appendices in the Manual. These will be added to the new manual and updated soon.

BSA Range Design Standards

Download the design document: range design

Your council must engage an architect or engineer locally to ensure your final design incorporates local geography and is meeting all local standards and laws for your county or state.  The guidelines established are minimum standards, the final design must contain the projectile within the range. Designing an all-purpose range is not desirable because of the specific differences in the disciplines.
