District Open Shoot – 2020/01

The Target Sports ASU are running an “Open Shoot” session which any Cub, Scout, Explorer or Young Leader can participate in. The idea behind the sessions are to give young people in the district the opportunity to have a taster of the activity. If interested they can attend the shoot regularly and train for the upcoming District and County Shooting competitions.

Participation will count towards the Master at Arms badge.

Format

There will be 3 one hour sessions run throughout the day:

1. 09:15am – 10:15am
2. 10:30am – 11:30am
3. 11:45am – 12:45pm

Each session can accommodate 12 participants. Each person will be limited to one time slot in order to give as many people as possible an opportunity to take part.

Shooting will take place from a distance of 6 yards using o.177 air rifle.
