At the Lone Star Select Shooting Team, we want to take a moment to share what our program is really about and what we stand for.

LSSST is built on the belief that shooting sports should be accessible—both financially and developmentally—and growth-focused for youth at every level. Our team includes athletes ranging from brand new shooters with no prior experience all the way through NSCA Master Class competitors. Every athlete has a place here, and every athlete is supported where they are in their journey.

We are proud to have a coaching staff of more than 16 active, certified coaches, with more available when schedules permit throughout the year. This brings a wide range of experience, teaching styles, and competitive backgrounds to our program, allowing our athletes to learn in different ways, adapt to different approaches, and become more well-rounded, confident shooters under a variety of conditions.

We also proudly support athletes who compete in other programs outside of Lone Star, such as SCTP, 4H and FFA. We believe youth shooting sports should complement one another—not compete with each other—and we encourage our athletes to stay involved wherever they are able to grow and gain experience.

Beyond the course, we place a strong emphasis on developing character, leadership, responsibility, and sportsmanship. Our goal is not only to build better shooters, but to help develop confident, disciplined young people who carry those skills into every part of their lives.

We are proud of the culture being built within this team and the athletes who represent it.

The Lone Star Select Shooting Team is proud to support The Sporting Collective App as part of our program this season.

Created by Cory & Catherine Kruse, we’ve found it to be a valuable resource that brings a modern, on-demand approach to training. It offers high-quality instructional content and coaching support that athletes can access anytime, anywhere—helping them build skills, sharpen fundamentals, and continue improving between practices and competitions.

As our team continues to grow, tools like this help reinforce what we teach on the range and give our athletes another way to stay focused, consistent, and prepared.

We’re proud to share resources that are making a positive impact in the shooting sports community and encourage other programs to take a look and see if it could benefit their athletes as well.

This isn’t just a collection of photos from competitions—this is a snapshot of who we are as a team.

Every image tells a different part of the story: early mornings at the range, the focus before a shot, the celebration after a great run, and the lessons learned when things don’t go perfectly. Together, they reflect something bigger than scores or standings.

They show growth. Discipline. Resilience. And a group of athletes who show up for each other just as much as they show up for themselves.

The Lone Star Select Shooting Team is built on hard work, strong character, and a commitment to getting better every single day. These kids represent that in everything they do—on and off the course.

Proud doesn’t even begin to cover it.
