All of the pre-sessions will incorporate the usage of shooting materials and the introduction to handling an air rifle. During the shooting phase, instruction will be given in prone, kneeling and standing positions. Daisy air rifles (pellets) will be utilized during these sessions.

The shooters that wish to continue will have the opportunity to join the Junior Shooting program.
