The rifle firing team is in most cases a team of 4 shooters who shoot rifles in 3 different positions (standing, kneeling, and prone). At Eldorado Sundevil Company we have our novice, intermediate , and experienced shooters shoot different rifles. Novice shooters shoot a pump style air rifle called the Daisy Avanti 853, intermediate shooters shoot a pre-charged CO2 canister rifle called the Daisy Avanti 888, and our experienced shooters shoot a pre-charged air canister rifle called the CZ 200 T. There are a variety of matches 3x10, 3x20, gut matches, and final shoot offs. Our most common match that we shoot not just for practice but for competitions as well is the 3x10 match, meaning 10 shots in each position going in this order prone, standing, and kneeling. Scores are based on a maximum of 300 points total and 100 points in each position with each bull or target being worth up 10 points.

My goal as the RFT (Rifle firing Team) Commander is to most importantly teach my shooters rifle safety before they can even touch any rifle. Once my shooters pass their safety test with a 100% I will then begin to train them to the best of my ability not just on the range, but in the classroom as well. Since this year I have been given the privilege of being able to have my own class during school hours specifically for RFT (Rifle Firing Team). I always believed you can't tell someone to do something you haven't showed them how to do. Which is why I do lots of explaining and showing of how to shoot, teaching them techniques I use, as well as shooting side by side with them. Since shooting at something the size of about a quarter 10 meters away consistently isn't as easy as it seems. While doing that I teach them that all good shooters have a good mentality and are always calm, relaxed, and prepared. Doing all of this at matches makes the other team fear or get nervous making us get into their head which is my ultimate goal. Make people fear the Sundevil Sharpshooters.
