The 2025 National Air Rifle League entered the first week of skill-based matchups, the third of an eight-week regular season that feeds a postseason for the top teams. The national circuit features high school programs and junior rifle clubs competing in 60 shot precision standing or 30 shot sporter three-position air rifle competitions, with team totals drawn from the top four athletes. Week 3 produced a slate of tight finishes, marquee match ups, and one new team record.
In the precision league Everett Sportsman Junior Rifle Club stayed unbeaten with a record-setting 2476.4 in a high-scoring win against American Legion Post 295, which remained second overall at 2-1. Lafayette Gun Club continued its strong start by turning back Granbury MCJROTC to secure third, and Sutter Union High School held steady in fourth after a solid victory at Reading Rifle and Revolver Club. Granbury sits fifth despite the narrow loss, while Sapulpa MCJROTC pushed to 3-0 with a resilient performance at C. T. Johnson AJROTC.
In the sporter league, at the top, Fontana MCJROTC and Palm Bay MCJROTC both advanced to 3-0, Fontana turning back North Brunswick AJROTC in a high-scoring contest and Palm Bay separating late from Trigger Time 4-H Shooting Education Club. Pascagoula NJROTC remained unbeaten in a one-shot affair against West Valley MCJROTC to hold third, Zion Benton NJROTC climbed to No. 4 after dispatching Mountain View MCJROTC, and Walton County Air Rifle held its position at fifth following a bye.
