Sign Up for Guns and Arrows Oct 7-9

Guns-Arrows Oct 7-9, 2016

This trip is a tradition for Troop 149.  For many years, scouts and parents have made  this one of our most popular outings with generally the highest attendance of any of  our monthly campouts. BSA has a high standard for Shooting Sports which the Troop completely follows.   Feel free to browse the BSA Shooting Sports Manual.  In attendance on this trip will  be NRA-trained Instructors and Range Safety Officers for Rifle and Shotgun Shooting  and USA Archery / National Field Archery Association trained Archery Instructors and  Range Safety Officers.    Safety is an obsession on this trip and discipline on all the  ranges is STRICTLY enforced. We will have a training session for Rifle Shooting, Shotgun Shooting and Archery at the  Oct 3rd Troop Meeting.  Attendance is mandatory at this meeting for all going on the  campout.  Please review these training presentations before that meeting: BSA 30 Minute Rifle Briefing  BSA 30 Minute Shotgun Briefing  Archery Briefing As the name Guns and Arrows suggests, we spend Saturday on three different  ranges; archery, rifle and shotgun.  For archery and rifle, we'll be shooting at targets.   For shotgun, we'll be shooting skeet/clay targets. All equipment (rented, mostly) and ammo will be purchased beforehand and attendees  will  pay for it as part of the camping fee collected by the Troop.  Estimated total cost per  person:  $35 per person, plus usual grubmaster fees of $15 for each Scout and $20 for  each adult. Once again we will be holding our trip at Camp Sinoquipe where we have attended  Summer camp for the last 4 years.  All scouts will be sleeping in a large lodge (with  a wood stove), unless they choose to use tents. Adults will use tents. Please sign up by Sept 26th. Our Tour Permit is due to BSA ASAP.   We must include all attending adults and Scouts on the Tour Permit.  Please make a  check payable to Boy Scout Troop 149 for $35 and bring  any Troop Meeting.  Also,  bring a signed permission slip for each Scout. Again, it is essential that all interested in attending sign up ASAP.  Sign up by clicking this link See who else has signed up by clicking this link
