The Lincoln Rifle Club has one of the finest Junior Programs in the State of
California. Lead by a dedicated group of coaches this program is
assisted in many ways by the LRC adults. LRC has brought together a group of
caring adults and excellent equipment with quality facilities to make this
program a huge success.
This is unquestionably the best bargain in the area for youth entertainment
and growth. The range fees are $1.00 for each relay. For this small fee the young boys and girls are
trained, challenged and encouraged to reach their potential. Included in this
fee is use of ALL the equipment required to participate. This includes
excellent shooting equipment consisting of precision Anschutz .22 caliber
rifles, ammunition, spotting scopes, mats, and ear & eye protection. The
fact that trained personnel, many who are highly accomplished shooters, coach the
youth makes the bargain even more attractive.
To sign up just bring your youth out
to one of the Monday night sessions. They can be signed up right there and join
the fun.

Whether your child is interested in "just plinking" or becoming an
Olympic champion they will be trained in firearm safety and handling procedures
and coached on basic to advanced shooting techniques. Each shooter is allowed
to progress at their own pace and encouraged to have fun in the process. The
club has had more than it's share of success in grooming top shooters. The
junior shooters have more than one age-group world record. Several of the
shooters have received college scholarships in the last few years. The club
3-Position air rifle team won the California championship in 2001 and competed
in the National Championships in Atlanta, Georgia.

These Olympic sports are confined
to rifles of smaller caliber - .22 rimfire rifles and .177 air rifles.
Smallbore rifle shooting and air rifle shooting is extremely popular all around
the world, where the tradition goes back many years. Smallbore shooting is
contested at both the Olympic and Commonwealth Games. There are also World
Shooting Championships every four years. The world titles attract competitors
from more than 100 countries.
Free Rifle 3X40 (3 Position)
Free Rifle 3x40 Competitors fire 120 shots using a .22 caliber target rimfire
rifle weighing no more than 8kg. Forty shots are fired from the prone position,
40 from a standing position and 40 from a kneeling position. This is most
certainly the most challenging of all the events, and often regarded as the
marathon match of smallbore shooting since it takes over 4 hours to complete.
Internationally this is a men's match. These matches are shot at a variety of
distances under NRA and International rules. Inside they are shot at 50 feet,
outside the matches are shot at 50 yards or 50 meters depending on the type of
match.
Smallbore 4 Position
Similar to the 3 position above
this discipline adds a sitting position. Again a .22 caliber target rimfire
rifle is used. Generally matches are run as 4X20 with 20 shots taken from each
of the four positions. The 4P match is not shot in international competition.
Air Rifle
Air Rifle The air rifle match
consists of a 60 shot event for men and a 40 shot event for women using a .177 calibre
target air rifle weighing no more than 5.5kg. The event is shot in the standing
position over a distance of 10 metres usually on an indoor range. In international competition,
there are separate events for
men and women. Air Rifle is an inexpensive way of getting into shooting, and it
is an especially appropriate way to introduce juniors to shooting. There is a 3 Position
competition as well with these air rifles.
