    Junior High Power Rifle Program

    The Junior High Power Rifle Program is designed to introduce young shooters to the sport of Service Rifle competition while building discipline, responsibility, sportsmanship, and marksmanship skills. Our juniors practice weekly while under the instruction of Golden Triangle Highpower Coaches.

    High Power Rifle is a classical position shooting sport that includes:

    • Offhand (Standing)
    • Sitting
    • Prone (Lying Down)

    Competitors shoot what is commonly referred to as an “Across the Course” match at distances of:

    • 200 yards
    • 300 yards
    • 600 yards

    This program operates as a mentoring program integrated into regular High Power scheduled events. Junior shooters compete side-by-side with adult shooters and receive instruction and coaching from dedicated, trained adult coaches. The goal of the program is to help each junior develop safe firearm handling skills, confidence, and a lifelong interest in High Power Rifle competition.

    Our team practices every week from September - June and welcomes juniors who are eager to learn, improve their marksmanship abilities, and compete in a positive team atmosphere.

    Eligibility

    Eligibility for the Junior High Power Rifle Program and participation is for youth ages 13 through 20 years old.

    Youth must demonstrate the mental focus, emotional stability, and physical capability necessary to safely handle and operate firearms at all times.  Safety is our highest priority, and all participants are expected to follow instructions, exercise good judgement, and conduct themselves in a manner that promotes a safe and positive training environment.

    Archery Project


    The 4-H Archery Project teaches youth ages 8-18 safe, responsible, and ethical archery skills, focusing on marksmanship, safety, and personal development. Participants learn compound and recurve techniques, aiming for goals like competition and passing skill levels. It promotes self-discipline, teamwork, and confidence. 

    Key Aspects of the 4-H Archery Project

    • Safety First: The program emphasizes strict safety standards, including proper equipment use and range safety rules.
    • Skill Development: Members learn the "nine steps" of shooting a bow, including stance, nock, hook, and release.
    • Equipment: Instruction covers different types of bows, including compound and recurve.
    • Competitions & Events: Opportunities often include local club events, 3-D target shoots, and state-level competitions.

    School Guardian Program Training

    The Texas School Safety Certification Course is an advanced two-day training program for eligible Texas school personnel who may serve in an authorized School Guardian Program. The course prepares participants with the knowledge, judgment, and handgun skills necessary to help protect students and respond effectively during a violent critical incident.

    The course combines classroom instruction, practical exercises, and live-fire training. This is not a basic handgun course. Participants must arrive with safe gun-handling skills and a solid foundation in handgun marksmanship.

    Course Objectives

    The course focuses on the following required training objectives:

    • Protection of students
    • Interaction of license holders with first responders
    • Tactics for denying an intruder entry into a classroom or school facility
    • Methods for increasing a license holder’s accuracy with a handgun while under duress

    Eligibility

    This course is intended for eligible personnel of a Texas school district or open-enrollment charter school, including individuals preparing to serve in an authorized School Guardian Program.

    Eligible individuals may complete the training without first being authorized by their school district to carry on campus. However, completion of this course does not, by itself, authorize an individual to carry a handgun on school premises. Authorization to carry is determined separately by the school or district in accordance with applicable Texas law and local policy.

    Tom Givens will be returning to Beaumont once again to conduct his Rangemaster Two-Day Advanced Firearms Instructor Development & Certification Course at GTGC.  

    The Advanced Instructor Course is a continuation of the three-day Basic Instructor Development Course. The basic instructor course packed an incredible amount of information into three full days of training. Since most of our students are there on their own dime and their own time, we hold that course on Friday through Sunday to minimize disruption of their lives. The Advanced Firearms Instructor course picks up where day three of the basic instructor course ends. If we had five full days the advanced instructor course would be days four and five of the process. By making this a separate course the students can practice the skills learned, absorb the material covered in the basic instructor course and be ready to learn a whole new set of skills.

    The classrooms and Action Range 1 are reserved for the period from April 10-11, 2027.  

    Stay tune for further information and registration.....
