The club furnishes everything needed to participate in the Rifle Project. It is not necessary to purchase rifles, eye protection, ammo, etc. unless you choose to do so. In fact, I don’t recommend you purchase expensive equipment unless you are sure a participant is truly committed to remaining in the project.
