The Riverdale Police Pistol team Junior Rifle Program is open to all youth between age 8 and high school graduation who are deemed by the staff to be mature enough to undertake the responsibilities of the program.  Safety training is provided prior to participation, and a written and practical test must be passed prior to starting the actual shooting portion of the program.  Rifles and other equipment are provided, with the exception of eye and hearing protection which the student MUST provide and MUST use.

The program charges $5.00 per night which covers the price for up to 100 rounds of ammunition, which is slightly below our actual cost.  Unless otherwise approved, club ammunition must be used.  Dues are $25.00 per year plus tax and are due at the start of the season.

The program offers two options for shooters, based on their goals.  In both programs, the shooter moves stepwise through positions and scores to win certificates and patches.

Light rifle qualification uses sporter-type rifles and is designed to help the shooter learn to shoot well for recreation.  Scopes are allowed and slings are not used. 3 positions are used for our program.

4 position rifle qualification uses target-type rifles, shooting jackets, slings, etc and help start a shooter on potentially entering formal competition.

The 2010-2011 season will start 29 September 2010.  We will be closed for 1 month over Christmas and will end in early to mid-May.  We plan to have the two sessions (4:45-7:00 and 7:00 until 9:15) every Wednesday night, although this may change if the number of shooters does not warrant two sessions.   Shooters are expected to arrive on time so they can help set up or clean up.  New shooters are welcome to come at any time.  Parents are encouraged to stay and help the volunteers run the program.
