Joining our Rifle team is a great way to get involved because a person’s body type and athletic ability does not determine their level of success in this sport. Cadets succeed because of their high level of motivation, commitment to excellence, dedicated practice and good old fashioned hard work. Air rifle marksmanship is one of the safest sports to participate in.

 Members of the team develop coordination, self-control, mental discipline, time management skills, and must demonstrate strict adherence to safety rules. It also allows cadets to develop personal pride and a sense of accomplishment as they become more proficient with their skills. Cadets shoot the Crosman Challenger .177 air rifle utilizing the National Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting rules and standards. Cadets fire at targets from a distance of 10 meters in three different positions, prone, standing and kneeling.

Our team offers many valuable benefits to cadets who participate. The Georgia High School Association recognizes riflery as a varsity sport. Cadets can compete in Regional and State competitions and many other Postal competitions from all over the country. Riflery is an NCAA collegiate championship sport. Scholarship opportunities for high school students are available to qualifying cadets.
