The Mount Joy Sportsmen's Association, 85 Range Road, Mount Joy, will offer its spring air gun program. The program stresses safety and is meant to teach marksmanship skills in a friendly, relaxed environment.

The air gun program began on March 6 and will continue through early summer. It is open to the public. Adults and juniors will alternate Saturdays, with both groups meeting at 9 a.m. Participants may join at any time.

The air gun programs are conducted with .177 caliber pellets. Club rifles are available for those who do not own a match quality air rifle. Rifles must have adjustable iron sights only, and no scopes or red-dots will be allowed.

The next session of the junior program for children and youths age 9 and older will occur on Saturday, March 20. Parents are encouraged to stay and help. There is a one-time fee for ammunition and targets.

The adult program using air rifles and air pistols will be offered beginning on Saturday, March 13. There is a one-time fee for targets only. Adults must supply their own ammunition.
