Rifle Team

Team Commander: C/ENS Kristen Lovell

Ribbon REQs: Active, participate in 3 meets.

This team is fun, challenging, and is very competitive. Cadets shoot .177 caliber air rifles from prone, kneeling, and standing positions.

The team consists of a joint team (cadets from all 3 schools) of dedicated shooters with the drive and determination to gain skill in the field of riflery. The Team is made up of Precision Shooters & Sporter Shooters. After passing a mandatory rifle safety test, each cadet practices their shooting to become proficient and qualify to participate in unit rifle matches. The goal for each cadet is to be qualified as a marksman.  The team participates in two different types of competition; postal matches, in which all three schools shoot and the targets are mailed in to a judge, and shoulder-to-shoulder matches where students travel to matches against opposing teams like the Olympics. As an extra little perk, cadets can earn medals for high scores, where they are graded at how well they score by hitting as close as possible to the bull’s-eye – the size of a $.50 Cent piece at 10M (~33feet) without magnification on the sights.

In the 2023-24, the Precision Rifle team qualified for Regionals & Kristen Lovell finished #7 in the Region for Precision Rifle.

Practice Schedule: TBD
