CIPS Jr. Air Rifle/Pistol Club
The Jr. Air rifle/pistol club is open to all Jr members of the community who want to learn the art of precision air shooting. Working with coaches, our Jr rifle shooters start in the standing position and learn/practice the basic/advanced elements of precision rifle shooting. Shooters progress into the prone and kneeling positions as they show improvement. A similar progressive learning process is used to teach the fundamentals of precision pistol shooting as well. If you are looking for a safe way to introduce your child to rifle shooting, this is the club for you!
