Marksmanship, focus and discipline

Air Rifle

About the team


Air rifle competitions are part of the year-round NJROTC program at Washington High School. Marksmanship is listed as an NJROTC program in the 2025–26 Activities Flyer.

Team members can take the JROTC Marksmanship course (0096M). It teaches the skills required to successfully fire an air rifle, gun safety and proper marksmanship technique. It requires passing a safety test and signing a Cadet Pledge.

The class requires adherence to orders, self-discipline, attention to detail and outstanding attendance.
