The CRGC JRAL also has a mobile shooting sports trailer for archery. CJRAL is open to the public.
CRGC JRAL provides all required equipment for those just starting out and seeing if this is a fit for your child. Participants are permitted to use their own equipment contingent upon approval by the program officers. All ammunition IS supplied by the JRAL club. All CRGC JRAL instructors and teen leaders are certified through 4-H, NRA, and other approved course instruction.

We Reserve The Right....
To remove anyone from our firing lines for the safety of all.
Possible reasons for removal:
1. The person is not able to physically draw or hold the firearm.
2. The person is not acting safely for themselves and others.
3. Listening skills are a large part of shooting sports, and if they are not being applied, then we will remove you from the line.
If these simple rules are not being followed or understood, maybe we are not the club for you.
BIGGEST SUPPORTER & HOST
Our largest support for cJRAL is Chester Rod and Gun Club. The club donates the space, range safety officers, and sponsorship for our program to run, without them we would not be able to run CJRAL effectively.

Testimonies
"I originally picked shooting sports because I have been told it was a good alternative to more team-based sports. I stuck with it because it allowed me to get to know more people, which has troubled me in the past. This is what spurred me to become a volunteer. Which as built my confidence and more outgoing too. SS has provided me with great opportunities to have instructor certifications in several disciplines."
