Record Amount of Shooters Fire in the 2013-2014 JROTC Postal Championship

By Ashley Brugnone, CMP Writer

 

The JROTC Three-Position Air Rifle National Championship kicked off in October with its opening Postal Competition, where cadets from Army, Navy, Marine Corps and Air Force JROTC programs submitted scores to the CMP to be compared against top junior shooters around the country. 

A record-breaking 8,025 shooters participated in the 2013-2014 match, with the top shooters in each branch earning an invitation to the JROTC Regional Service Championships, to be held in Albuquerque, NM; Anniston, AL; and Camp Perry, OH.

This year, MidwayUSA will be sponsoring the JROTC Championships – donating over $454,000 in endowments and operating costs, with over $300,000 of that amount going to top teams in all three phases of the Championships (Postal, Regional, National).
