Or, maybe you work an odd shift and just don't have the time to teach them? The Bossier Sheriff's Office is ready to lend a helping hand, and they will do it absolutely free!

Sheriff Julian Whittington has just announced the Bossier Sheriff's Office Summer Shooting Sports Program 2026 and this sounds like something every Bossier Parish kid could get something out of.

It's a shooting program for boys and girls from 10 thru 15 years old and will start in June with a number of sessions.

Along with a heavy dose of gun safety, the program will include Target BB Gun Rifle, Archery, and a 20-gauge shotgun. A Louisiana Hunter's Education Certification class will also be given during this program.

Camps will last for two days at the Bossier Sheriff's Office Shooting Sports Range in Plain Dealing.  Students will be provided lunch by the Bossier Sheriff's Office. Camps will be limited to 16 students per session.
