Advanced Rifle Tosses


Triple Rifle Toss
:  For this toss, make sure you are holding the rifle the same way that you would toss a single or double rifle tossAgain, put more oomph! into it when you let it go.  You should count to three (this should constitute 3 rotations) and catch the same way for the smaller tosses.

Horizontal Rifle Toss:  For this toss, hold the rifle at the neck with your right hand.  Rest the butt on your shoulder, and place your left hand palm up holding the belly.  NOTE:  Make sure the rifle is flat so that strap is parallel to the ground.  As you lift both arms up, twist the rifle with your hands and let go.  The way you catch it may vary according to the traditional technique that your color guard uses.
