The American Legion recognizes that guns are a part of sports and recreation in our society and strives to teach youngsters the proper use of firearms before accidents occur. Many local Posts sponsor Junior Shooting Clubs which provide training in gun safety and marksmanship for junior shooters.
It is a three part program that combines the Basic Marksmanship Course, Qualification Awards, and Air Rifle Competition.
Participants shoot from prone, standing and kneeling positions in either of two categories, determined by rifle type: Precision and Sporter.
