Everett caps perfect regular season with league-record 2478.2 as postseason bracket locks in

The 2025 National Precision Air Rifle League wrapped its eight-week regular season with a slate that finalized postseason seeds and set divisional placements for next year. The national circuit features high school teams and junior rifle clubs competing head-to-head in standing air rifle matches; each athlete fires 60 shots in decimal scoring, and team totals are drawn from the top four competitors. With the regular season complete, qualifying teams break for Thanksgiving before the postseason opens Dec. 1.

At the top, Everett Sportsman Junior Rifle Club closed at 7-0 and set a league record with a 2478.2 in a win over Robinson Rifle Team. American Legion Post 295 finished 6-1 after a steady 2457.4–2439.1 result against Fountain Fort Carson AJROTC, while Lafayette Gun Club posted 2459 in a decisive performance at Reading Rifle and Revolver Club. Granbury MCJROTC handled East Coweta MCJROTC to secure a winning mark, and Sutter Union High School surged past Cumberland Beagle Club to complete the top five picture behind Everett, American Legion Post 295, Lafayette, Fountain Fort Carson AJROTC and Granbury.
