Junior Rifle has long been a source of great pride for the ECCL. These youngsters have competed in a very demanding program requiring concentration, skill, and perseverance beyond what is normally expected from people of this age.
Read about the April 24, 2010, Camp Perry Air Rifle Match here.
The ECCL junior small-bore program begins in early June and ends in mid August. The program teaches basic gun safety and rifle marksmanship in the standing, sitting, kneeling, and prone positions. The program is taught using the Civilian Marksmanship Program Rimfire Sporter course of fire, and the juniors have several opportunities to compete in matches during the summer. The entire team travels to Camp Perry to compete in the National Rimfire Sporter match in late July.

For 2010 we are running a beginners class for new and younger shooters, and an advanced class for juniors who have at least one year of shooting experience with the ECCL small-bore program.
Also new for the Spring of 2010, was a junior air rifle program. This program takes place every other Sunday evening during the winter months. We begin shooting at approximately 5:00 pm, and should be done by 6:30 PM. The class focuses on the fundamentals of position shooting. We use the club's target grade Daisy 853 air rifles. Pellets and all necessary equipment are provided by the club. The cost for this program is $2.50 per class and includes use of club rifle, pellets, targets, and shooting equipment.
ECCL junior programs are open to the public and parents are not required to be members of the ECCL to participate.
