Junior Rifle

The Junior Rifle Program at Lower Providence Rod and Gun Club is offered to the immediate family members of the membership. It is designed to teach juniors 11-18 years of age firearm safety and the basics of rifle marksmanship. Juniors are introduced to the proper use of basic equipment used in target shooting. Rifles, equipment and ammunition are provided by the club.

The courses of fire in the Junior Rifle Program are designed to take shooters from beginning skill levels (Pro-Marksman, Marksman) through intermediate levels (Marksman 1st Class, Sharpshooter, Expert).

Junior Rifle meets on Wednesday evenings from 6:30 to 9:30 September through June. The Junior Rifle Program does not meet on the Wednesday evening that the LPR&GC board of directors meet. The Junior Rifle program only accepts new junior participants to the program in August and December. There is no fee for the program however we do require that the student has a junior membership at LPR&GC. The fee is $10 annually. We ask that participants attend as regularly as possible, however it is mandatory that new students attend the first three meetings for the NRA course material.

New junior participants can sign-up for the program on the following dates:

• December 16, 2009
• August 25, 2010

Enrollment is limited to 10 students on a "first come, first served" basis with priority given to returning juniors.

If you wish to enroll a junior in the Junior Rifle Program or if you have any questions about the program, please contact Joe Indelicarto or Andrew Schaefer via email at lprgc@lowerprovidencerodandgunclub.com or visit the club on a Wednesday night. Our Junior Rifle Program is funded through the generosity of the Lower Providence Rod & Gun Club and by grants from the NRA Foundation, Inc.
