Arnold Junior Shooters was established in 2003. The team is a part of the Scholastic Clay Target Program (SCTP) and has been a part of the Arnold Rifle and Pistol Club located in Barnhart, Missouri since 2010.
Young shooters from 9 years of age thru college practice Sundays and Thursdays from mid-January thru early September. Shotguns are provided on a loaner basis by the club for beginning shooters. Several large competitions are held throughout the year where up to 2000 young shooters vie for trophies with some of the best shooters from across the country. Most of these competitions are held at Sparta, Illinois or at The Missouri Trapshooters Association near Lake of The Ozarks.
ARPC’s teams have been very successful in the past, garnering two National championships and numerous state titles. We have produced several Junior Olympians and All-Americans thru this program as well as many Missouri State Champions. Boys and girls compete equally in co-ed squads.
All AJS coaches are NRA-certified coaches.
