IMAGE CAPTION - Safety comes first in all of our activities, especially sports such as Riflery.
IMAGE CAPTION - Riflery meets at the Riflery Range.
As opposed to the explosive action necessary in many other sports, riflery requires total relaxation and calm deliberation. Often a boy whose coordination or temperament prevents his excelling in other sports finds a great deal of satisfaction in this area.
With 8 covered firing points, Timberlake's rifle range is outstanding for our purposes. Ordinarily shooting 22 caliber rifles from a prone position, our campers are introduced to correct breathing, site picture, trigger pull, etc. within the context of a thorough foundation of safe instruction.
I know the experiences they had there and will continue to have in summers to come will be fond memories in their future. The counselors are great with the kids and the atmosphere at camp and all the love that is shown is wonderful. Alpharetta, Georgia
