Ten Lesson Curriculum

Ten Lesson Curriculum

When it comes to shooting education and training, Daisy literally wrote the book. Daisy’s Ten Lesson Curriculum for Shooting Education not only provides the lessons for an instructor to present to the student, but also provides the instructor with goals, and requirements for classroom space, range personnel and materials.

No doubt, millions of young people have been introduced to shooting safety through Daisy’s ten-lesson classroom curriculum and practical instruction by dedicated volunteers. Over the years, in addition to the Junior Chambers, Daisy has worked closely with 4-H Shooting Sports, American Legion, the National Rifle Association, National Guard Youth Marksmanship Program, USA Shooting, Cadet Leagues of Canada, Royal Rangers, the International Hunter Education Association, churches, camps and civic and conservation organizations to make instructional material and equipment available.

At the Daisy Nationals, a written safety test is administered to the participants, covering information contained in the NRA Rule Book and the Daisy’s Avanti Ten Lesson Curriculum Shooting Education book. This book is taught in classroom curriculum. This test score comprises a substantial percentage of each competitor’s final score. Often a top score is decided not only based on shooting ability but on the competitor’s knowledge of gun safety and resulting test score.
