The Brocks Gap Jr Rifle Program provides a path for 9-19 year olds to learn firearm safety and skills.  They may then choose to shoot recreationally with our junior club or join the BGTC Jr Rifle Team to compete with others in one of four rifle disciplines:  BB, AIR Sporter, AIR Precision and Small-bore.

To join our junior club a youth must complete a formal safety and marksmanship course such as an NRA Basic Rifle course or an equivalent.  We offer this course typically in the spring and fall.  A youth may get started with the club on a provisionary basis by attending a 2-4 hour FIRST Steps course which are offered as needed.

Attendance for recreational shooters is optional; however, if more than a year has elapsed since shooting, a safety refresher will be required (FIRST Steps).  Regular attendance at practice and competition is expected of team members.

Practices are on Mondays and Thursdays from 5:30-8:00 pm and shooters are expected to arrive sufficiently early that they can unpack their equipment, set up their targets, and are ready to begin shooting at 6:00.

The Brocks Gap Jr Rifle Team competes in a variety of competitive events that culminate in the National Small-bore Matches, the NRA Air Rifle Nationals, CMP Junior Olympic Nationals, and the BB Gun Nationals.

If you are interested or know of another youth that may be interested, come out and see us during a scheduled practice.
