Junior High Power Rifle Program
The Junior High Power Rifle Program is designed to introduce young shooters to the sport of Service Rifle competition while building discipline, responsibility, sportsmanship, and marksmanship skills. Our juniors practice weekly while under the instruction of Golden Triangle Highpower Coaches.
High Power Rifle is a classical position shooting sport that includes:
- Offhand (Standing)
- Sitting
- Prone (Lying Down)
Competitors shoot what is commonly referred to as an “Across the Course” match at distances of:
- 200 yards
- 300 yards
- 600 yards
This program operates as a mentoring program integrated into regular High Power scheduled events. Junior shooters compete side-by-side with adult shooters and receive instruction and coaching from dedicated, trained adult coaches. The goal of the program is to help each junior develop safe firearm handling skills, confidence, and a lifelong interest in High Power Rifle competition.
Our team practices every week from September - June and welcomes juniors who are eager to learn, improve their marksmanship abilities, and compete in a positive team atmosphere.
Eligibility
Eligibility for the Junior High Power Rifle Program and participation is for youth ages 13 through 20 years old.
Youth must demonstrate the mental focus, emotional stability, and physical capability necessary to safely handle and operate firearms at all times. Safety is our highest priority, and all participants are expected to follow instructions, exercise good judgement, and conduct themselves in a manner that promotes a safe and positive training environment.
