The TRPC junior service rifle team program (The Androgynous Prairie Chickens) was established to teach marksmanship fundamentals to junior shooters and to help them improve their skills so they can qualify as a member of the Texas State Junior Service Rifle Team at the National Rifle Matches at Camp Perry, Ohio. The program is open to juniors from age fourteen through nineteen.

The program consists of classroom training, hands-on skills training, monthly club competitions, and selected key tournaments. Key tournaments are the Texas State Hi-Power Championships, the Panola County Gun Club Regional Tournament, and the Texas State Service Rifle Championships. Equipment (rifles, ammunition, spotting scopes) is provided by TRPC at no cost; certain personal items (shooting jacket, gloves) must be purchased by the shooter. Coaching and training is provided by experienced, qualified shooters who are also actively competing at a National level. Additional information may be found in the attached Junior Program Fact Sheet.

Latest Club News

The Terrell 200-yard range is being renovated to insure that the members continue to have a great experience while using the range.

While the awning is being cleaned and repainted Mark Franecki organized and supervised a repair of the backstop and replacement of the target holders. Mark and JD Watson also took advantage of the skid steer to improve the pistol bays.

When you get a chance, be sure and thank our volunteers on this project. We can't maintain the ranges without people like Ron Chambers John Jebavy, Gene Pohlman, Lester Durst and your rifle and pistol directors, Mark Franecki, Paul Walker, Alan Wilson and JD Watson.

The Terrell Rifle and Pistol Club had winners at the National Matches.

This summer at the National Matches at Camp Perry Ohio the Texas state rifle team came away with another big win.
The team, with the help of TRPC club member John Ilzhoefer and frequent club competitor Daryl Melkert had
the overall win in the National Trophy Infantry Team Match. Along with the overall win they were also awarded the
Leatherneck Trophy for high civilian score.

The match is all rapid-fire with a six-man team starting at six hundred yards and stopping at five hundred, three hundred
and two hundred yards for fifty seconds of firing at silhouette targets.

This match has come to be called the Rattle Battle because of the rapid nature of the shooting.
Congratulations to John and Daryl
