Junior Rifle Program
Please see our Range Schedule for Junior Rifle Times and Events.
The Junior Rifle program is alive and well in Brandon. We offer Hunter Education (also known as Hunter Safety), field trial activities, small bore .22 shooting, special shooting events, the Canadian Firearms Safety course, a tournament at the end of the summer season and a provincial championship the following spring.
Our program is divided into summer and spring portions. We meet once a week beginning in May through September and again in early April. The program begins by teaching safety on the range while handling firearms, followed by sportsmanship and shooting, in that order.
Students obtain hunter safety cards and graduation crests and certificates during their classroom activities. They also earn shooting crests in order of bronze, silver and gold, first in the prone position and later in kneeling and standing. The program provides Hunter Education manuals, safety glasses, hearing protection, ammunition, targets and small bore firearms during class times and range time.
