STATESBORO - With the 2021-22 Georgia Southern rifle program concluded and the trophies safely secured in the cases at the Parrish Building, it's time to take a look back at the record-breaking season put together by the Eagles and to also take a look at what's in store for the future of the program.

As a team, the Eagles set multiple program records en route to capturing the Southern Conference overall title for the first time in program history. The Eagles also brought home the team smallbore title for the second year and a row, and had one individual titlist and a pair of athletes of the year, among other awards.
