WILCO SHOOTING SPORTS
WILCO SHOOTING SPORTS
The SASP provides student athletes, ages elementary through college, with a supportive environment where shooting sports serve as catalysts for teaching life lessons and skills that emphasize positive character traits and citizenship values.
TYAS provides the opportunity for Texas youth and coaches to come together, practice safe firearm handling, have fun, work as a team in an competitive environment, socialize with other like-minded individuals around the state and build our Texas youth’s confidence in marksmanship.
SCSA's mission is to promote safe, fair and fun participation in Steel Shooting competition, for members of all ages and skill levels, through effective leadership, education, communication and administration.
Wilco Shooting Sports Booster Club is a non-profit, volunteer led program offering instruction to youth on safety and marksmanship skills for both recreational and competitive purposes. Members are taught how to handle firearms and archery equipment responsibly for target practice, competition, hunting and are educated on respectful and responsible use of natural resources. They support the Williamson County 4-H Shooting Sports and other youth programs by raising funds, purchasing equipment & services, and providing volunteers for events and educational opportunities. .
These kids did it again!! This year we had 17 kids participate in the 2023 SASP National Champions in Marengo, Ohio. They brought home 9 trophies, 5 first place, 2 second place and 2 third place awards. Not only that, they also brought home lots of High Overall Awards, 10 first place, 14 second place, and 7 third place. Pretty impressive if you ask us!!
