Air Gun Program Information

The Air Gun Program is open to adult and junior (ages 10 thru 20) rifle and pistol shooters.  Shooters meet every week on Mondays evenings. The air gun season runs from October thru April – see the Club Calendar for beginning & ending dates each season.  Junior members must be at least ten years old.  Parents do not have to be a Yellowstone Rifle Club member for kids to shoot as a junior, although it is great to have parent or grandparent participation to help coach beginning shooters. A responsible adult must be available while the child is at the range.
