National Air Rifle New Shooter League

League Description

Orion's National Air Rifle "New Shooter" League is an offshoot of the National Air Rifle League. This league is ONLY meant for developing teams, in their first year of competition, to compete against other developing teams. 76 teams competed in 2023, only in the fifth season! We will continue to offer this League each spring. Especially since it is intended for new athletes, the New Shooter League rewards week-by-week improvement, not just overall performance!
