The National Air Rifle League kicked off last week with 134 teams across the United States and Germany. With one game complete, and seven more weeks to go in the regular season, Mariner AJROTC and American Legion Post 295 earned the top spot in the Sporter and Precision leagues respectively.
The first week of the league was highlighted by a random schedule, with an emphasis on inter-conference play, allowing teams that may never have competed against each other to meet. Results of these inter-conference games will play an important role in determining the eventual conference winners, determined by their collective regular season results.
