The founding spirit of Colonel Allison lives on today in the vision and discipline of young shooters who
pursue the sport of competitive shooting, on a local and national level. The desire for excellence, discipline
in practice and a determination to achieve higher and higher scores, often produce sterling qualities in a
young person that last a lifetime.
What is CAJRC?
CAJRC is a competitive shooting club. We train kids in the Olympic shooting disciplines in Air rifle and
Small-Bore rifle. Position basics on Prone, Standing and Kneeling are taught along with shooting fundamentals
like: Natural Point of Aim, Sight Picture, Alignment, Breath Control, Trigger Control and Follow Through.
Shooters are trained to score their own targets and learn goal-setting techniques. Our goal is for kids to get
into competitions with the ability to shoot their best.
How does this magic happen?
HQ Moody, National Coach for the NRA, claims that the purpose of a coach is to: “Provide a safe learning
environment for young shooters to pursue their sport”. Four Corner’s Rod and Gun Club generously provide the
facilities for practice and competitions, while parent-coaches donate that magical mix of leadership, safety,
organization and training opportunities in which new athletes can thrive.
What leadership roles are available?
Match Directors, Line Officers, Scoring Officers, Equipment support help and Line Coaches combine to generate
a winning team in a great learning environment. CAJRC has been fortunate to attract and maintain older shooters
who continually give back to the sport in offering volunteer training throughout the year.
When does the shooting season start?
The first practice of the year begins the Saturday following Labor Day and runs until Memorial weekend. We
practice every Saturday morning when there is not a match at the range.
