The BB rifle program is intended for 8-12 year olds. The BB rifles used have an upgraded barrel and target sight which increases accuracy. The youth shoot at a distance of 5 meters at the NRA BB Gun target. All 4 positions are taught (prone, sitting, kneeling, and standing). Parents will learn right along with the child and help the child to use the rifle safely. In the process of practicing, the shooters earn NRA Qualification patches and awards for BB gun. There are also opportunities to enter monthly matches for free.
Practices start September 8, 2025, and are held weekly on Mondays 4:30-5:55 pm and 6:00-7:30 pm, Tuesdays at 11:30-12:55, and Thursdays at 4:30 pm at the Alexandria Bay American 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.
