Manitoba Junior Shotgun Association
The Manitoba Junior Shotgun Association is jointly sponsored by the Manitoba Wildlife Federation and the Manitoba Trap Association.
It is open to both boys and girls between the ages of 12 to 18. The basic purpose of the Association is to provide training in the safe operation of firearms and to provide a fun environment for children to participate in a sport to which they might not have the opportunity to do so. Additionally it teaches kids both maturity and responsibility.
The program usually runs in May & June of each year and culminates in the Provincial Championship on the last Sunday of June.
