Small Bore Rifle Program Equipment

     The SCCYSL's main activity is a Small Bore Rifle Program. We provide all of the equipment necessary to make the shooting experience meaningful and safe. Currently, the League has over forty .22 caliber rifles in various configurations. These range from true, 12 pound target rifles with sophisticated aperture sights to miniature "Cricket" rifles for the 8 to 10 year old group. The League has ten youth sized competition target rifles in right-handed configuration. These light rifles, imported by EAA, are CM-2 Youth rifles that are made by the same facility that makes the rifles used by the Russian Olympic Rifle Team. They have sophisticated aperture sighting systems, adjustable butt plates, chrome bores, thumb slot stocks and accessory rails. These rifles allow our shooters to experience high grade competition equipment. For our left-handed shooters, the League has four Savage Mark II Youth rifles and two, slightly larger, Savage Mark II standard rifles available in left-handed configuration.

High Power Rifle Team Equipment

     The SCCYSL has a High Power Rifle Team. The League has five Rock River Arms National Match A2 semiautomatic rifles in .223 caliber, five Celestron spotting scopes and stands all the necessary shooting accessories to field a complete High Power Rifle Team.

     The SCCYSL has also purchased five .22 LR conversion kits for the Rock River rifles. This allows our shooters to practice indoors with the AR-15 style rifles using standard .22 long rifle ammunition. The youngsters can practice rifle handling, sling usage, sight alignment and trigger squeeze using relatively inexpensive ammunition.

Shotgun Program Equipment

  The SCCYSL has a state of the art Trap Shooting Program. We provide instruction on trap shooting as well as sporting clays from May through October.

     The SCCYSL has two Promatic Harrier trap machines. One is a straight throw machine for beginners and the second is an oscillating thrower appropriate for ATA Trap shooting. These professional machines allow the League to provide a high quality shooting experience to our youngsters. Both of these high quality machines were provided by grants from the NRA Foundation. The SCCYSL has seven shotguns available for use by our youngsters. One is a Browning Citori Trap gun in 12 ga. We also have one Bennelli 20 ga. pump and five Beretta A400 Xcel Target 12 ga. semiautomatics.  Most trap shooters prefer to use their own shotguns.

Pistol Program Equipment

        The SCCYSL has five Ruger Mark III target pistols.  These semiautomatic pistols have adjustable sights and 5 inch bull barrels.  In addition, they have been outfitted with red/greed dot sights to assure excellent sight picture.

 Additional Equipment

          In addition to firearms, the SCCYSL provides shooting mats, eye and ear protection, targets, all .22 caliber rimfire ammunition, spotting scopes, slings, shooting jackets, kneeling rolls, cleaning equipment and appropriate safety literature. 
          Youngsters may bring their own firearms to shoot. However,  small bore rifles must be able to be easily and safely loaded "single shot". Our Instructors will make a determination as to whether the youngster's firearm is appropriate to use in our program.
