10X 3,278 Posted January 21, 2020 SCFGPA (.org) has an amazing junior rifle program. They've put shooters on the national team. Also a fairly impressive junior pistol program, though the range is closed for renovation for the next few months. And it's not all that close to you. There is more info on the NJ junior pistol program here, including a link at the top of the page to junior pistol programs at two other clubs. NJ junior pistol program Perhaps there is also something out there at the state level for junior rifle shooters. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

njJoniGuy 2,128 Posted January 21, 2020 Get in touch with Walt Bachman.

YankeeSC 1,204 Posted January 21, 2020 When I was at OBRPC shooting the USPSA matches, there was a guy that brought his two sons and they shot in the matches as well. I think they were around that age. They also scored near the top every time. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
