The Junior Club season starts on the FIRST Wednesday
of October and meets on most Wednesdays with a break at Christmas time
and ending in May. Please check the club calendar using the CALENDAR link
on the left to confirm program dates.
The meetings are split into TWO sessions as follows:
Session 1: 5:45 PM to 7:30 PM. This session is
for younger and new shooters. It will use the NRA Light Rifle program to
teach the shooters the basics of target rifle shooting in a supportive and fun
manner. Besides using lighter rifles, it also uses larger targets and starts
with the rifle on a rest while the shooter learns how to aim and shoot.
Eventually the shooter moves off the rest and progresses to more difficult
types of shooting.
Session 2: 7:15PM to 9:15 PM. This session is
for older shooters, primarily those interested in
3- or 4-position target shooting. While it is expected that most of the
people during this session would be experienced shooters, potential older
shooters with no experience are welcomed to participate during this time.
The first October meeting will be a general orientation/
re-orientation meeting during which the safety orientation and tests will be
administered and membership applications filled out. There will be shooting
that night also.
ALL new prospective shooters and returning members are
required to attend and pass the range/safety tests before they will be allowed
to shoot!
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 with new
shooter orientation given the second Wednesday of the Month. Parents are
encouraged to stay and help the volunteers run the program.
