4H Scout Junior

The Basic Rifle Marksmanship (BRM) program serves as an introduction to firearms safety as well as instruction in the fundamentals of rifle marksmanship. A number of youth organizations (4H, BSA, GSA, JROTC etc.) have utilized this course to supplement their core shooting programs. The Santa Clara Valley Rifle Club has set aside every Saturday from 10:30 to 2 pm for the exclusive purpose of encouraging marksmanship skill development. Graduates from the Basic Rifle Marksmanship program will have the necessary skills to take advantage of this period of time, and all of the resources we have available, in order to advance to local, state, regional and national tournaments. BRM graduation is not a mandatory prerequisite for participating in the Saturday Junior program. Many of our more advanced and accomplished shooters started by simply walking through our door with a desire to learn how to shoot safely. If you are interested in learning how to shoot rifles safely and accurately, then this is the program for you.

The Pellet Poppers meet at the 10th Street San Jose Municipal Firing Range to practice for their annual statewide Postal Match, which is a great way to get 4H work credit! The 4H club meets on Saturday mornings from 10-2. The Boy Scouts use the range to earn merit badges in the target shooting disciplines.

Happy graduates of a junior basic rifle marksmanships course
