NRA Offers Adult 3-Position Air Rifle Shooting
NRA wants tournament sponsors to know that adults can participate in an NRA Open or NRA Invitational position air rifle tournament.
The air rifle is an excellent training tool for all shooters to move from air guns to the powdered guns. While not very well known, adults have always been allowed to shoot 3-position air rifle and the NRA is interested in expanding the program.
This year for the first time there is a NRA Open National Precision and Sporter Air Rifle Championship. Adults and juniors can compete together for national awards. The NRA Rifle Department is taking bids for the Precision and Sporter Sectionals now.
The NRA recognizes the growth in the air rifle community and wishes to offer competitive shooting events to those who have the desire to compete. A shooter can use the air gun as a development tool to other styles of shooting. The air rifle is a great gun for adults and juniors alike to learn the basics of shooting and a great tool in learning how to shoot.
For more information on sponsoring an NRA Position Air Gun tournament or for information on the new course of fire, please call Dian Bullock at (703) 267-1482 or contact by email, DBullock@ nrahq.org.
This 3 Position Air Rifle Open Sectional is being held at the Hudson, NH F&G Club between 3/03 through 3/06. So far, no one except some Juniors are shooting the Open match. Let’s get some adult Open shooters into this match too. Contact me at kjylkka@gmail.com for details and match program.
