Small Bore Rifle

The Small Bore Rifle Program at CDARPC has gotten off to a great start! We will be participating in the NRA Qualification Program. This will involve shooting 4 position at 50ft in our newly remodeled and updated indoor range.

This program offers youth from age 10 and older the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of gun safety and competitive shooting. Awards will made available to the shooters as they advance in their shooting skills by CDARPC.

We Shoot Friday evenings at 5:00 PM, mid-September thru mid- May. The cost is$5.00 per shooter and includes club rifle, ammunition, targets and equipment for each nights use.

If you have or know of a youth shooter interested in learning the sport of target shooting please let them know about our program. If you have an experienced shooter that would like to join us we would enjoy having them share their experience. Please contact me, Tom Alapai, at 208 819-4890, if you have any youth interested in the program. This is an equal opportunity sport. Whether tall or short, big or small, boy or girl, this can be the sport for them.

Let me introduce myself, I’m Tom Alapai. My background in shooting sports started in high school where I was a cadet in the Army JROTC. I competed in the NRA three position small bore all through high school. After retiring from the Army I became a certified firearm instructor for rifle, pistol, and shotgun. I now coach and instruct junior shooters for 4-H and the Boy Scouts. I believe this program gives our youth a great start to a life long enjoyment of shooting sports and the CDARPC is a great place to start.

If you are interested in helping with coaching, scoring targets, awards, or in any other capacity, please contact me at the number above.
