Three-Position Air Rifle
Shooting
Three-Position
Air Rifle Shooting
is the most popular and fastest growing form of shooting sports competition for
youth of high school age or younger. Two different Three-Position Air Rifle events are available.
Precision Air Rifle is modeled after Olympic-style shooting and allows
the use of specialized target rifles and equipment.
Sporter Air Rifle is designed for new competitors or those who desire to
compete with a minimum of equipment and expense.
In both types of shooting, competitors fire at targets at a distance of
10 meters in three different positions, prone, standing and kneeling.
Sporter and precision air rifle classes may also be combined into one “open”
class. Three-Position Air Rifle
provides young competitors with competitive shooting sports opportunities that
can be offered on a wide variety of easily accessible or easily constructed
ranges, with equipment that is commonly available at affordable costs.
The CMP actively promotes
Three-Position Air Rifle shooting as a premier youth marksmanship competition by
providing low-cost equipment and pellets as well as training curriculum
materials and competition activities.
