JUNIORS 22 RIFLE PROGRAM 2009-2010

Starting on Wednesday and Thursday, November 4th & 5th, 2009, the Cheyenne Rifle & Pistol Club will begin its weekly 'Junior’ 22 Rifle Program at the CRPC indoor range. Each year the program runs from November thru April. Because of the demand for this program, it has been expanded to two (2) nights per week, and a maximum of 56 youth shooters. The program accepts new or experienced youth shooters ages 10-18 years. Shooters are awarded medals as their skill level increases, and there is a fun night at the end of the season. Each night will be limited to 28 shooters (2 relays) for a total of 56 shooters.

Sign-up is on a first come, first served basis. Registration will begin at 6:00 PM on November 4^th & 5^th.

Due to the increase in cost for Ammunition and other Supplies the Program Fee as been raised to $35.00 per Junior per year.

The CRPC Range is located at 2621 E. 7th, Cheyenne , Wyoming .

Junior Details and Rules

GENERAL RULES

1) We will limit the CRPC Junior Program to 56 persons. Each junior will be issued a “CRPC Juniors” Identification Card.

2) Each shooter will be issued their equipment at the Arms Room door. After placing rifle, ammo and other equipment in position on the range, shooters will return to the ready room area until directed to go to their position by the Range Master. Note that Eye & Ear Protection is the shooter’s personal responsibility.

3) A shooter will only be allowed to fire 1 relay per week for record. Shooters may fire for practice in another relay if there is room, but scores for a second relay will not be counted!

4) Shooters will not be allowed to touch or score their targets after firing. Scores will be adjusted only if scores or tally are in error. NO scores will be adjusted if the shooter fails to record what position they shoot in and the level they are shooting at for that relay. This is the shooter’s responsibility. Shooting positions are Prone (P), Sitting (S), Kneeling (K), and Standing/Offhand (O)

5) Shooters may not shoot in more than one position per relay. Qualifying scores above what is required for that level will be carried to the next level if they meet the requirements.

6) NO Juniors will be admitted until 6:00 PM. 1st Relay will begin at 6:30 or as soon as we have a full line. 2nd relay will begin at approximately 7:00 or as soon as we can replace targets, issue rifles & ammunition, etc. The times may vary slightly. All shooters who are in the 2nd relay should be ready to shoot at 6:50 PM.

7) All Juniors are expected to help out in the kitchen during the Gun Show. A sign-up sheet will be available a couple of weeks prior to the Gun Show. This is the ONLY money- making activity to help fund the Juniors Rifle program. DO NOT bring brothers, sisters, or friends to work with you!

8) All current CRPC Juniors who reach their 18th birthday can join the CRPC as a regular member without paying initiation fee or being on the waiting list. Juniors must have been enrolled in program for two (2) continuous years AND must complete all levels; or continue each consecutive year from joining until they turn 18.

9) After a shooter completes Level 1, parents may NOT handle, load or otherwise be on the mat with the shooter, except to spot for them. Parents may spot for their child IF they do not interfere with the adjacent shooters. If there is interference the parent will be asked to leave the line.

10) The Arms Room is OFF LIMITS to shooters and non-authorized personnel. Authorized personnel will be told who they are.

11) A Packet will be issued to each registered shooter to include: ID card, 2 sample targets - 1 of each type, a copy of Shooting Levels, copies of the General Rules and range rules, and a copy of the season schedule.
