Camp Program and Objectives: The Elite Rifle Clinic is a unique and unprecedented experience for high level junior athletes whose goal is to continue their rifle career at the collegiate level. Athletes will receive expert coaching. All coaches will be current collegiate coaches, NCDS, or certified as an Advanced Coach by USA Shooting. Head Coach, Gregg Rice, is licensed by the International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). The clinic will also expose the athletes to a nationally known sports psychologist, a physical trainer, and a sports nutritionist, bringing facets to the program unlike any other experience offered nation-wide. A variety of shooting experiences in both 50-foot smallbore and 10-meter international air will be provided. Finals training will be included in the instruction for both events. The coaching will focus on advanced instruction and will assume that athletes have a firm grasp of the fundamentals of three position smallbore and international air rifle.
STUDENT ELIGIBILITY: The Elite Rifle Clinic is primarily designed for the advanced athlete who has aspirations of competing at the collegiate or Olympic level. Athletes will use both smallbore and precision air rifles. Athletes need to provide all the necessary equipment and ammunition for an advanced level precision rifle athlete. At minimum athletes should have both a smallbore and air rifle, a precision coat, pants, boots, pellets, and target grade smallbore ammunition. Smallbore ammunition must have a velocity of 1080 fps or less. The clinic is designed for junior shooters who are rising grades 9-12.
ADULT SPONSORSHIP: Students who have not reached their 18th Birthday by July 29, 2020, must be accompanied by an adult sponsor (age 21 or older) who will have designated power of attorney.
LIMITED ENROLLMENT: Enrollment will be limited to 18 athletes. Athletes will be accepted on a first come, first serve basis.
CAMP ACITIVITES: Camp activities will be divided between 50-foot smallbore rifle shooting and 10-meter air rifle. Both will take place at The X Count. The X Count is equipped with Megalink electronic targets. Additional experiences with a sports trainer, sports psychologist, and sports nutritionist will occur. Camp experiences are intended to evaluate and diagnose intricate improvements in positions and performance providing athletes a competitive advantage as they prepare for post high school competition. Only three position smallbore and international air will be addressed. No three-position air rifle practice or instruction will occur.
