The terms, briefly
Three-position air rifle (3PAR)
Cadets fire at 10 meters from kneeling, prone and standing. A 3×10 match is ten record shots per position; a 3×20 is twenty.
Sporter and precision
Sporter uses standard sporter air rifles with limited equipment, and is where most cadets start. Precision uses specialized target rifles and shooting clothing.
Electronic scoring targets
Targets that measure where each shot lands and score it instantly, then send the result to a computer on the range.
Match management
Everything around the shooting: entries, relays and firing points, scoring, score review and published results.
How a match runs in Nexus
From roster to results, in one system.
Set up your unit
Create your program as an Army, Navy, Marine Corps, Air Force or Space Force JROTC unit, add cadets with their class years, and group them into teams.
Build the match
Choose a 3×10 or 3×20 course of fire, set each event as sporter or precision, take entries, and assign cadets to relays and firing points.
Score it live
On electronic scoring targets, Nexus Desktop on the range computer records each shot as it's fired and sends it to Falken's servers.
Review the scores
Every score starts provisional. You verify it, apply penalties where the rules call for them, and mark results final.
Publish individual and team results
Standings by position, by class and by team, on public pages you can share with your school and families.
Keep every cadet's history
Each match lands in the cadet's record, next to training journals and goals, and follows them from season to season.
What families see
Share one link and parents can follow the match on their phones: live standings, and each cadet's shots landing on the target. No app and no login for public matches.
This is the same view shown on the homepage. Live viewing needs electronic scoring targets; private matches stay behind a login.
