Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting is the most popular and fastest growing form of shooting sports competition for youth of high school age and younger. Two different Three-Position Air Rifle events are available. Precision Air Rifle is modeled after Olympic-style shooting and allows the use of specialized target rifles and equipment. Sporter Air Rifle is designed for new competitors or those who desire to compete with a minimum of equipment and expense.
In both types of shooting, competitors fire at targets at a distance of 10-meters in three different positions, prone, standing and kneeling. Sporter and precision air rifle classes may also be combined into one “open” class. Three-Position Air Rifle provides young competitors with competitive shooting sports opportunities that can be offered on a wide variety of easily accessible or easily constructed ranges, with equipment that is commonly available at affordable costs.
Air Rifle Marksmanship tests the participants visual acuity, coordination, and control of normal body functions, such as breath control, relaxation, and sight. A participant must develop concentration skills to master the coordination and timing between sight, brain, and body to become a successful marksman. Cadets that desire this type of activity must pass an extensive safety course on the proper handling of firearms, the components and function of firearms, and be able to recite and demonstrate range safety rules.
