About Cadets at NSRG

The NSRG Cadets program is designed to introduce youth to the shooting sports in a safe, structured, and supportive environment. Focused on safety, responsibility, and skill development, the program teaches young participants the fundamentals of marksmanship while fostering discipline, confidence, and respect for range rules and equipment.

Under qualified supervision, Cadets learn proper firearm handling, safe range practices, and foundational shooting techniques appropriate to their age and experience level. The program emphasizes personal growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship while encouraging a lifelong appreciation for safe and responsible participation in shooting sports.

NSRG Cadets provides a positive setting where youth can build skills at their own pace, develop leadership qualities, and gain confidence in a controlled and encouraging atmosphere. Cadets must be registered in the local Cadets Program to be part of the NSRG Cadets shooting activities.
