  • Must have and maintain an overall cumulative GPA of 2.0.

Fee: $10 per semester

  • Be provided with the opportunity to practice leadership, effective communication, organization, and problem-solving skills and techniques as they form trained competitive marksmanship teams. Marksmanship is a complex sport skill that is concerned with the precision and accuracy of aiming, controlling, and firing rifles at difficult targets. A high degree of muscle-nervous system coordination must be developed through practice.
  • The JROTC Rifle Marksmanship program offers cadets the opportunity to compete in city, state, national, and international marksmanship competitions. The JROTC Marksmanship Program trains cadets to shoot the 3-position air rifle protocols system developed from the International Shooting Sports Federation (ISSF) and Olympic rifle events (air rifle standing, 3-position small-bore).
  • Students are required to compete in shoulder-to-shoulder and postal rifle matches; maintain a JROTC portfolio; keep a shooter's log; and participate in a research project per semester on safety/marksmanship and give an oral presentation on their project. Army, Navy, and Marine Corps JROTC units in accordance with service regulations offer rifle marksmanship. All rifle marksmanship activity in Army JROTC units is done with 4.5 mm (.177 caliber) single-shot target air rifles. All range firing activities are conducted on 10 meters (33 feet) long indoor or outdoor ranges.
  • Cadets who participate in rifle marksmanship are trained to fire in three standard firing positions. Cadets who participate in competitions usually compete in “three-position air rifle” competitions. Opportunities for advanced marksmanship camps and training are available for cadets interested in enhancing their skills.
