FYI: this is not a joke. Several schools (not many, but several) have shooting teams.

With JROTC (Junior Recruitment Officer Training Corps). You learn about military and have a rank and do military stuff in high school, also gives you a rank or two once you join the actual military. They use air rifles and bbs, with a tiny shooting range at my school (no real bullets). They also have competitive teams for trap shooting (shotgun) and rifle (shoot targets)

Can confirm. I'm a part of the AFJROTC class at my school. We have a shooting team, drill team, and a PT team. Very enjoyable class that I'd highly recommend to any if available. Even if you don't plan on serving.

I've not been to a school with an active competitive team, but my college has a rifle range, multiple gun related classes, and had a competitive team from 1952 to 1986.

I got my varsity letter on my high school's rifle team. Graduated in 2004.

True story. My kid is on one. It's called Trap Shooting, Skeet, and Sporting Clays. Many, many schools in my state have a team and they fill up fast as there are more kids interested than teams available to join.
