NRA Intercollegiate Rifle Club Championships

This championship will include NRA College Rifle Clubs, ROTC Teams, and independent shooters, for which there is currently no national championship. The purpose of this championship is to determine the National Collegiate Rifle Club Individual and Team Champions, and ROTC Individual and Team Champions. The championship will feature Smallbore Rifle and Air Rifle competitions and Training Summits for all participants and coaches.

Invitations to the NRA Intercollegiate Rifle Club Championships

To be eligible for participation in the NRA Intercollegiate Rifle Club Championships a shooter must be a regularly enrolled undergraduate student who complies with the eligibility rules of his/her institution. An undergraduate is a student who has not received his/her bachelor’s degree. Qualifying teams and individuals will be selected based on scores fired in the current years’ NRA Intercollegiate Rifle Sectionals. See the NRA International Rifle Rule 2.8. The top thirty ranking individuals in each gun and the top ten ranking team in each gun will be invited. Only one team per institution per event may qualify to compete. Additionally, the top three teams and the top five individuals from sectionals will be given free entry to the championship.

NRA Intercollegiate Rifle and Pistol Sectionals

The National Rifle Association’s Intercollegiate Sectionals provide the opportunity for individuals and teams to compete with hundreds of collegiate shooters across the nation and to compare their marksmanship performance by being nationally ranked. Sectional tournaments are registered indoor matches conducted at numerous locations throughout the country. Competitors may select the most convenient location from the sectionals listed in the “Coming Events” section of Shooting Sports USA. Complete information regarding the sectionals may be obtained from the NRA or from the event sponsor. Competitors may fire any of the seven collegiate sectional events: smallbore rifle, air rifle, free pistol, standard pistol, air pistol, women’s air pistol and women’s sport pistol. A shooter is allowed to compete in only one sectional per year in each event. Click here to register your sectional: http://www.nrahq.org/compete/tournaments/ After firing, scores are sent to NRA where they are nationally ranked and any national records are recorded. All Intercollegiate Sectional scores must be fired under NRA International Rifle and Pistol Rules. When all tournaments have been fired, a national results bulletin is compiled, listing every score for that year’s sectional matches. Each competitor receives a copy.
