Description

NWCSA is proud to host the first junior rifle course organized for the young men (ages 12-21) attending DeMolay Chapters across Connecticut.

Freemasons David Hyatt, and Tom Transue (Chief Range Safety Officer), will introduce responsible firearms ownership and small-bore rifle competition during this 6-day course. David noted “this course aligns with NWCSA Initiatives and my hope is that our boys are encouraged to further their education through CSSRA (or similar) college scholarships, while advancing their rifle shooting skills”.

Course instruction will use .22 caliber bolt-action and semi-automatic Rimfire rifles.
