NJR is a school sanctioned team in which the coach is paid a salary and insurance is provided for the team. NJR does not receiving funding from the school budget, instead NJR raises all of its own revenues. NJR air rifles are approved for NRA match competition and modifications to the air rifles were that were supported by NRA grants. This funding was made available by the profits of Vermont's six Friends of the NRA Banquets.
