Buffalo Youth Shooting Sports (BYSS) is a volunteer parent run shooting safety organization. BYSS Members are adults who have paid dues according to the BYSS By-Laws with the purpose of fulfilling the goals outlines below.


BYSS is for the shooter, their family and friends.  We need everyone to be involved to make it more fun and successful. The Buffalo Youth Shooting Sports Shooting Education class is now being sponsored for the 43rd consecutive year.   


Goals:  To educate, instill the higher regard for the firearm safety and sportsmanship, and prepare girls and boys ages  8 -15 for gun safety exams and competitive 5 meter BB Gun Matches.


Program fees are $45 for each participant ($100 max per family) and must be paid while registering before or on the evening of the first class. The first class begins on January 6th at 5:30pm. Parent Guardian Forms must also be filled out at registration.
