Registration is open for the Buckeye Firearms Association-sponsored 2026 Fall Youth Shoot, slated Saturday and Sunday, Sept. 12 and 13.

This is a special two-day event at the Tusco Rifle Club, 2132 Midvale Mine Road SE, Dennison, Ohio, to offer youths an opportunity to camp, shoot, and compete.

Activities include a firearm safety class for all new shooters and the opportunity to experience archery, .22 rifle, and trap shooting for beginners, as well as an introduction to handguns for more experienced attendees. All firearms and ammunition will be provided.

In addition, participants will learn about our founding and how special America is in history.

Shooting-sports merit badge requirements can be met during this event for BSA, Venturing, HG, 4-H, etc. Those who need the rifle or shotgun merit badge should bring a blue card signed by their unit leader.

Event T-shirts will be available at the event for $23, plus fees.

Group camping is available for the weekend at no cost. Participants are invited to arrive Friday, Sept. 11, and set up camp.
