How's it going, everybody? So I'm a junior who's been doing air rifle for a couple years now and I'm interested in military high schools. Are there any out there with a rifle team where I can continue to pursue my interest? Really keen on continuing this in a more disciplined environment, so any help is much appreciated.
Certainly, it seems like you're aiming to blend your passion for air rifle into a disciplined, military environment which is a thoughtful direction. Military schools indeed provide disciplined structure and many of them offer marksmanship programs or have rifle teams.
For instance, the New York Military Academy, a well-known military school, offers a competitive rifle team. Another military high school with an air rifle team, part of the Civilian Marksmanship Program, is the Randolph-Macon Academy in Virginia. Similarly, the Culver Academies in Indiana have a riflery program that might interest you.
It's crucial to note that joining an air rifle team in these schools signifies a commitment. Apart from your regular academic work and military duties, you would also need to set aside time for training and possibly travel for competitions.
Given your interest, look deeper into these schools and consider reaching out directly to them for more information about their programs. This will help ensure that whichever school you ultimately choose will align closely with your academic, personal, and extracurricular goals. Good luck on your journey!
