Kootenai Valley Junior Rifle Club places fifth in the nation

After months of waiting the results are in — and the Kootenai Valley Rifle Club team is fifth in the nation. In spring 2023, Kootenai Valley Rifle Club members shot in the NRA sectional rifle match at their home range, joined by teams from Sandpoint and Coeur d’Alene. They competed with .22 caliber rifles, single shot, at a distance of 50 feet indoors. A sectional match is one in which a shooter obtains their national ranking. Matches are held across the United States, the scores are sent into the NRA then combined with others to see how everyone did.
