Junior Shooting Programs
MRRA Supports Junior Shooter Development But Does Not Endorse Any Particular Club.
Superior Junior Rifle Club and Team

Meeting at the University of Wisconsin, Superior, in Superior, WI but serving Duluth, Superior and the surrounding area, the Superior Junior Rifle Team has a thriving Junior program and boasts multiple Wisconsin State and National championships in a 50 year history. The program currently also includes a UW-Superior student club that participates in NRA Collegiate Club competitions. The teams begin practices each year starting in the fall and shoot and train as a team generally through May. Shooters are instructed and train in smallbore 3- and 4- position shooting, including rifle shooting basics, fundamentals of positions, and mental training techniques. Shooters are also trained in official courses of fire used in competition, tournament policies and procedures, tournament etiquette and sportsmanship. The recently renovated and upgraded 6-lane indoor range hosted the 2018-2019 Junior Sectionals, and will continue to host the best shooters in the upper midwest annually.

The goal of the program is to give the shooter the opportunity to take part and compete in local, State and National competitions, and at the same time be considered by others in the sport as a "Complete Competitor". Skills and mindset developed during time with the Rifle Team will be an asset to these athletes in their personal and professional lives as adults as well as providing a strong basis for life-long participation in shooting sports. Coaches have more years of competitive shooting and coaching experience than we care to admit and are all NRA/USAS credentialed.

Saint Thomas Academy

We are a scholastic team, open to students of Saint Thomas Academy and Visitation, but will consider other junior marksmen (grades 8-12) who live in the area and would like to try out for our team. We compete in the Sporter category and primarily air rifle, but may try to develop a precision team in the future. Tryouts are late October and our season is November to mid March. Practices are Tues-Thurs. 330-5pm. Our practices are conducted at Saint Thomas Academy in our 10 lane range.

If you make the team, the cost is $125, which provides you with an air rifle for the season, targets, and ammo. Costs of competitions are normally absorbed by the competitor.

Minnesota State Junior Service Rifle Team

In general there are two groups of shooters. The first group is the "Local Club" shooter. They are the type that enjoys going out to the local club from time to time and recreational shoot with friends and family.

The second group are the ones that want more and are willing to put in the time and financial requirements to be the best they can be. That's the few we are looking for!

Shooting can be a year round sport and the main part of service rifle calendar starts in April and ends in the last part of September. To be a member of the State team you must be ready to make that type of commitment or else the local club style of shooting may be best for you.

The State has a good supply of equipment to get you started and one of the top coaches in the country that has helped put whistler boy teams in first place at Camp Perry and many more individuals on the stage.

We are looking for juniors who will be 15-18 years of age and are highly motivated to win. You must be able to attend regular practices and matches along with being able to travel to Camp Perry for the first week of August.

If you think you can be one of the top junior shooters in the State, contact the state Junior Director for more information.
