Youth Air Rifle Program
The Durham Pistol and Rifle Club offers a training and competition
program designed to teach air rifle marksmanship to those from age 8 to 17. In
addition to the proper handling of a firearm, the program also teaches safety,
discipline, concentration and respect. During warm weather, participants may receive instruction in skeet and .22 rimfire shooting.
The rifles used are Daisy
M888 air rifles which are purchased from the Civilian Marksmanship Program.
Classes are held on the 2nd and 4th Thursday night of each month
(Feb - Nov)starting at 7:00
p.m. Each class has a 15 to 30 minute training class followed by a 1.5 hour
shooting session. The team has constant adult supervision consisting of
experienced instructors for the team coach and assistant coach and are usually
assisted by several parents.
The team is currently planning to attend two formal matches each year.
