The 2013 Calendar is set and now is the time to start looking at signing up your youth (your children, grandchildren, nieces & nephews and their friends) for the 2013 Youth Shooting Sports Program. Aurora Sportsmen's Club is proud to offer a number of opportunities where youth can learn safe and responsible ways to enjoy the shooting sports and improve their marksmanship skills.
Aurora Sportsmen’s Club Junior Rifle Course – 2013
Once again ASC will hold a NRA Basic Rifle Course for juniors, (boys and girls – ages 10 through 20). This course will run for three consecutive Saturdays from 9:00 to 5:00 on April 13th, 20st,& 27th, 2013 at our facility in Waterman, Illinois.
This is an intense program consisting of classroom and live fire, with one-on-one instruction on the range, followed by a written exam. The majority of our students graduate, shooting at the NRA level of Sharpshooter with most on their way to achieving their Expert Qualification. Those in Scouting will also be able to complete their Rifle Shooting Merit Badge requirements.
There will be morning classroom sessions starting at 9am on each Saturday of the program. Students will receive coached shooting instruction on the range in the afternoon each week, or later in the year on Youth Shoot Days if needed to account for weather and schedules. Students are required to provide their own lunch, snacks, and beverages for the entire day along with their own transportation from the classroom to the range and back to the classroom to help with cleaning rifles following the afternoon shooting session. Rifle cleaning is a required part of the class as is attendance at the classroom session each Saturday.
The classroom for this course will be in or near Waterman, Illinois, specific location to be announced later. The range is off of Rueff Road, about 1 mile south of US 30 in Waterman.
Class fee is $60 and must be paid at the time of registration. We have a class size limitation of 20 students and fills up quickly.
