Junior Rifle Club
The primary activity
of the Holliston Sportsmen's Association Junior Division
is Junior Rifle Club. Each year from October to March
youngsters from age twelve to sixteen, under very close
adult supervision learn the fundamentals of firearm safety
and marksmanship.
Each season starts
with classroom teaching of the basic rules of firearm
safety. After the rules are mastered, youngsters move
to the indoor range. The club supplies single shot bolt-action
.22 caliber target rifles, ammunition, and targets.
Young shooters
start by shooting from the prone position at fifty feet.
From here students move onto sitting, kneeling and standing
positions.
Other activities
include brief introductions to 10 Meter Air Pistol, trap
shooting, and archery.
