Kootenai Valley Rifle and Pistol Club season now
underway |
|
November 16, 2017 |
The Kootenai Valley Rifle and Pistol Club
(KVRPC) is dedicated to the sport of small bore
shooting and they invite all interested
people to join them.
Competitive shooting is a sport of precision.
KVRPC practices indoors with .22 caliber rifles
and pistols shooting at a distance of 50 feet.
Rifle shooters aim for a ten ring not much
bigger than the period at the end of this
sentence. Pistol shooters aim at a ring about
the size of a dime.
Senior rifle shooters, age 21 and up, use a
scoped rifle and shoot from prone, sitting,
kneeling and standing positions while junior
shooters, age 12 to 20, learn Olympic style
three position shooting with open sights.
The teams compete from their home range on
Highway 2, right across from Sater's Auction,
and also travel to Sandpoint, Coeur d’Alene,
Spokane, Davenport, Washington, and Missoula,
Montana.
Smallbore shooting is an NCAA sport, thus
college scholarships are available, and if you
aspire to compete in the Olympics, it can all
start here.
The pistol team meets Tuesdays, the senior rifle
team on Wednesdays and the junior rifle team on
Thursdays; all at 6:30 p.m.
If you would like to learn more about these
sports, stop by the range, 67175 Highway 2,
Moyie Springs, three miles east of Three Mile
Junction, and see what it is all about. Men,
women, boys and girls are welcome.
And for those who have shot in the past and have
put that equipment away, dust it off and come
join us! We welcome you back to make some more
memories. Shooting is a sport for a lifetime.
