The 2008 National Junior Olympic Three-Position Air Rifle Championship is just around the corner and the program is now posted on the CMP website. The event will take place along with the Progressive Pistol Championships, 9-18 July in Anniston, AL. This will be the first event held at the CMP Competition Center-South, which will feature 80 firing points in the brand new facility.
The National Junior Olympic Three-Position Air Rifle Championship features both team and individual categories in the sporter and precision classes. Each class fires two 3x20 matches over two days to determine the team and individual champions. To qualify competitors must first shoot in a state level Junior Olympic match, to find when a State Junior Olympic Match is held in your area view the interactive calendar on USA Shooting’s website at http://www.usashooting.org/calendar.php.
