First class JROTC Rifle Team
The rifle team is a division of JROTC at Enterprise HS. This is a student lead program; MSG (Ret) Albrecht instructs the students on safety, and the students teach all remaining requirements for shooting, drill, and uniform. This ensures their ability to teach, lead, earn respect, and maintain discipline. Rifle Team tryouts will begin April 24, 2017. Students learn safety and the three shooting positions (prone, standing, and kneeling). Candidates progress through grouping shots, 10 bull paper targets, and then electronic targets.
In competition shooting events, teams are made up of four shooters. EHS currently has 18 shooters on the team, nine Precision and nine Sporter, two teams in each category with one back up shooter for each.
Both the Sporter and the Precision teams have performed extremely well this year. Competing against ten teams in the Wiregrass Conference, Enterprise Sporter took 1st Place. The Rifle Team also competed in several Postal Shooting Competitions (teams shoot the targets at their home station, then mail them to the host team’s location, where the targets are scored). Both EHS teams brought home several first, second, and third place wins - and in some cases, all three in one match. The EHS team advanced through Regionals and on to the All Service Nationals.
In addition to their shooting, Rifle team students are Cadets and are subject to the same requirements as Regular Corp Cadets. The Army, Navy, Marines, and Air Force have a stake in shooting sports programs, so they, in connection with (CMP) Civilian Marksmanship Program, host annual competitions. MSG (Ret) Albrecht reports that each year EHS has shooters who qualify to try out for the Jr. Olympics in Colorado. Additionally, he states he has had a number of students receive scholarships at graduation and one shooter accepted to the US Naval Academy on a shooting scholarship. Definitely a first class organization!
