District Open Shoot Session – Cubs Only 2019/11
2nd November 2019 @ 9:00 am - 4:00 pm

The Target Sports ASU are running an “Open Shoot” session which any Cub Scout 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.

There will be 5 one hour sessions run throughout the day:
- 09:15am – 10:15am (arrive  9am)
- 10:30am – 11:30am (arrive by 10:15am)
- 11:45am – 12:45pm (arrive by 11:30am)
- 1:45pm – 2:45pm (arrive 1:30pm)
- 3:00pm – 4:00pm (arrive by 2:45pm)
Each session can accommodate 6 Cub Scouts. 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.
