SVRC Juniors Program
The SVRC Juniors program, led by Matt Bell, Kevin
Murphy, Brad Kirgan and Jim Leibly, starts this year on Thursday April 22, 2010 and finishes on Thursday August 26, 2010. It begins at 5:30 pm on the rifle range and concludes at 7:70pm every Thursday evening between those dates.
The program stresses firearm safety while teaching marksmanship and
fostering a positive attitude.
Most evenings last year the juniors shot .22
target rifles at 50 foot A-17 targets. Once a month, however, we got
out the .223 rounds and shot one hundred yard targets and 2-liter
plastic pop containers that were filled with water. Over the course
of the season over 10,000 rounds were safely fired.
All youth ages 10 to 18 are eligible to
participate regardless of whether their parents are members of the
range. If you know any youth with an interest in shooting
or would like to help a youth get firearm safety training by NRA
certified instructors then we encourage you to take advantage of
this program. We have all the gear, rifles and ammo. It's a great
opportunity for young hunters to get to be better shooters. This is
a chance for our youth to shoot in safe environment.
