Air Rifle in the Junior Shooting Sports Program is for youth ages 12-high school graduation. It is divided into two categories. The first is “Sporter”. We use the Crossman Challenger PCP air rifle, which is very accurate. The second category is “Precision”, which is what you see in the Olympics. The youth shoot at a distance of 10 meters at the NRA AR-5/10 target. Your goal is to hit the pencil dot!! All three positions are taught (prone, kneeling, and standing). In the process of practicing, the shooters earn NRA Qualification patches and awards for air rifle. There are also opportunities to enter monthly matches for free.
Practices start on September 10, 2024 are held weekly on Tuesdays from 10:30-12:15, 4:00-5:45 and 6:00-7:45 at the Alexandria Bay Legion. There is a $10 registration fee per child. A parent is required to stay with the youth. IF YOU ARE NOT REGISTERED, PLEASE CONTACT US FOR AVAILABLILITY BEFORE SHOWING UP.
