PRECISION, PASSION, PRIDE – JOIN THE DAISY NATIONALS
The Daisy National BB Gun Championship Match (Daisy Nationals)
The yearly National Championship of 5-meter, four-position BB gun shooting is a testament to the rich tradition and culture surrounding competitive shooting sports. It is the first “national” competition most competitive shooters enter. With a history dating back to 1966, the Daisy Nationals have evolved into a premier competition that attracts young marksmen and markswomen from across the United States.
At its core, the Daisy Nationals focus on promoting the responsible and safe use of airguns while nurturing the skills and sportsmanship of young shooters. Competitors are 8 to 15 years of age, welcoming a new generation to engage with the shooting sports.
One distinctive feature of the Daisy Nationals is its commitment to education. Competitors must have completed the 10-hour Daisy Shooting Curriculum or similar classroom learning before beginning their shooting training. All Daisy Nationals competitors take a 50-question written test before the shooting starts at the match, and their test results are factored into their final score. This educational component sets the Daisy Nationals apart, aligning it with the broader mission of Daisy Outdoor Products to instill a sense of responsibility and respect for airguns among young enthusiasts.
The Daisy Nationals serve as a platform for young talent to showcase their skills and compete at a national level. Participants not only test their marksmanship skills but also connect with like-minded youth who share the passion for the shooting sports. Daisy’s efforts to create an event that will be remembered for a lifetime adds plenty of fun to the Match – there are plenty of contests, the annual barter bar and swimming party attest to this.
The Daisy Nationals have become a cornerstone in the world of competitive shooting sports, combining tradition, education and camaraderie. This annual event continues to shape the future of young shooters, leaving an indelible mark on the legacy of competitive shooting in the United States.
