We offer instruction in firearms handling and safety as well as proper techniques for shooting .22 rimfire rifles, trap, and skeet. .22 rifles and 12 and 20 gauge shotguns will be provided for those who don't own their own. Parents and their youngsters are invited to come out and try something new.  

RCGC wants to encourage youth shooting activity and is ready to accomodate your youth group.  We periodically host Scout and church youth groups as well as a 4H Shooting Club. If you would like to set up a visit for your group, contact Youth Director Ron Anderson. If you seek more structured activities, the Civilian Marksmanship Program offers a number of classes and shooting events for youth.

               
On May 15th club member and Scout leader Donny Joyce and RCGC Youth Director Ron Anderson hosted Boy Scout Troop #216 from Greensboro for an afternoon of trap and .22 shooting. The first picture shows Donny (far left) and Scoutnaster Bill Kabrich (2nd from left) as they prepare to get the day started. Most of this series of pictures shows Donny working with a squad of new shooters with 20 gauge shotguns. Some of the other Scouts were on an adjacent field shooting 12 gauge. The last two pictures show what a good shot some of these guys are. Other Scout leaders included Rick Mays and club member Chuck Catherine. These young men had a great time on their way to shooting 69 rounds of trap and then it was off to the rimfire range for more fun. They really enjoyed themselves and thanked the club for having them out. This is the third year this troop has visited RCGC and they have always been well supervised and well behaved.

 
   

   

   

   

   

That's the way to erase a trap target!
