As YRC gets ready to start up the junior shooting season, we'd like to thank the Montana Friends of NRA State Grant Committee and the NRA Foundation for the 2025 grant awarded to YRC. This grant provided us with 5 new Crossman Challenger air rifles & related equipment and 25,000 match pellets (fifty tins of 500) for our junior program.

The Challenger air rifles are competition grade rifles suitable for younger kids and those of smaller stature. They also meet requirements for those that wish to compete in the "sporter class" (https://thecmp.org/youth/air/national-standard-three-position-air-rifle-rules/) rather than the "precision class" that requires equipment such as leather shooting pants & jackets to be competitive.

This marks the 3rd consecutive year that the YRC junior program has been fortunate enough to be awarded a Montana FNRA grant. These grants are very competitive at the State level. Not every club or group that applies receives one.

We hope you will consider supporting the FNRA by attending Billings Area FNRA banquets. Half of the money raised in the 20+/- local Montana banquets stays in Montana for Montana grants--most of which go to youth groups. The next Billings Banquet will be held on April 22, 2026.

The top eight competitors in the precision and sporter class were named Friday afternoon following Day 2 of competitive shooting in The American Legion Junior 3-Position Air Rifle National Championship in Hillsdale, Mich. The field started with 15 precision and 14 sporter class high school competitors and narrowed to the top 16 after two back-to-back matches where 240 shots were fired in three positions – prone, standing and kneeling – on a mobile firing range in an athletic center on the campus of Hillsdale College.
The finals will begin at 9 a.m. Eastern time on TODAY. The precision top eight will fire 10 shots in the standing position, followed by the top eight sporter.
