AIR RIFLES
The largest and fastest-growing segment of junior
shooting today uses a class of target air rifles called “sporter air
rifles.” Sporter air rifles now
constitute a special class of junior shooting competition that offers excellent
opportunities for new junior shooters. Sporter
air rifles are characterized by their light weight (5-7 lbs.), low cost (they
vary from $180 to $500 in cost), basic target features (adjustable sights,
adjustable length stocks, adjustable sling attachments) and suitable accuracy
(rifles sold through this program must be capable of consistently shooting tens
on the standard competition targets).
Three-position air rifle shooting is promoted and governed by the National Three-Position Air Rifle Council whose members include The American Legion, Army Cadet Command (JROTC), Boy Scouts of America Venturing, Civilian Marksmanship Program, Daisy/U. S. Jaycee Shooter Education Program, Marine Corps Training and Education Command (MCJROTC), National 4-H Shooting Sports, National Guard Marksmanship Training Center, Naval Education and Training Command (NJROTC) and USA Shooting (Olympic shooting governing body). The NRA also independently promotes three-position air rifle competitions. One of two classes of competition offered in three-position air rifle programs is for sporter class rifles. Junior shooters can begin competing within their first year of shooting in competitions limited to sporter class air rifles. Most juniors in this class are newer shooters who benefit most by competing with other juniors at a similar level of development. Sporter competitions range from local tournaments to national championships sponsored by USA Shooting (Junior Olympic National Championship), The American Legion, Daisy and the National Guard Marksmanship Training Center.
The
major advantages of sporter air rifles are their affordable price and the fact
that expensive target shooting clothing or other equipment is not required or
even permitted. New youth shooting
groups can readily afford to participate in sporter class competitions. In addition, many parents of youth interested in target shooting are
willing to spend $175 to $500 to purchase sporter class rifles, but would not
spend $1,000 or $2,000 to buy a precision-class target air rifle and the special
equipment needed in that class of competition. Sporter air rifles, with their low cost, light weight, adjustable length
stocks and outstanding accuracy, have proven themselves to be a perfect solution
to the need for a target rifle that is suitable for new and developing junior
shooters.
