I still have my skeet shooting trophy from the high school trap and skeet club competition (1972). It would have been nice to have a rifle team at the high school. I had to be content with my dad's bolt action .22LR rifle. Cotton tail rabbits provided targets, dinner and pelts.

In sixth grade, we had
mandatory "Hunter Safety" training. A local DNR guy was the instructor.
This was during regular classroom hours at 1:00 p.m. on Fridays for eight weeks, IIRC.
For the final test we brought our guns to school; and had to show the instructor that we could handle, load, and shoot the gun correctly. The class was mandatory, the shooting part was optional. Naturally, all of the guys opted for the qualifying test; most of the girls as well. We were rewarded with the "Hunter Safety Patch."
The shooting test even occurred on school property...horror of horrors!!

My high school had a rifle team in a Pittsburgh suburb (Mt.Lebanon) in 1962.

My old Catholic high school had a basement range. In the 70's.

We carried 22.s to and from grade school so we could hunt coming and going to school. Stacked (leaned) them in a rear corner during the school day.
