MPRA is very proud of the Junior Marksman Program and the success that it and its members have had. This page provides information of how to join and when they meet.

​​

Middletown Pistol and Rifle Association Inc.’s Junior Marksman Program offers an opportunity for boys and girls between the ages of 8 and 16 to participate the safe and exciting sport of competitive target shooting. No prior experience is required. You do not need your own equipment. We provide equipment and training.

 

Taught by our NRA Certified Instructors over two 15-week semesters, the program begins with the basics as students learn firearms safety and responsibility utilizing the NRA curriculum. They then advance to the basic knowledge, skills and attitude necessary for the safe use of a rifle in target shooting. 

​

The Juniors Program meets on Monday nights from 6:30 to 7:30 pm. Registration is required. Click Here for the registration form. The program is held in semesters. The first semester starts on September 15, 2025. The second semester will start in January. Please submit a contact form for inquiries, or come to a Juniors class for in person questions.

A few words about safety….

Target shooting is one of the safest sports in America, with far lower injury rates than any contact sport. Every new team member completes a safety course. All members are required to follow strict safety standards. We have never had a shooting related injury – and we intend to keep it that way!
