ECHS Rifle Team

Marksmanship is an exciting and rewarding sport as well as an integral part of the MCJROTC curriculum. With an emphasis on safety, the MCJROTC Marksmanship curriculum allows cadets to develop pride and a sense of accomplishment as they become more proficient with their marksmanship skills.   Competition breeds excellence in this program.  A cadet must be willing to put forth the effort and dedication needed to acquire and maintain their expertise.  The cadet must have the right attitude and be a team player.  The mindset of common purpose and unity drives the rifle team.  Cadets will qualify and compete using the Three-Position Air Rifle Shooting standards. Through the leadership of MCJROTC Senior Instructor Major Pete Merrill, the ECHS rifle team continues to strive for the acutely honed marksmanship skills needed to compete.  These skills have allowed the team to participate in many events and competitions throughout the year as well as continuing the tradition of being a national winning team.
