I spent a week at summer camp this month helping run the rifle range. Lots of Scouts had never held a gun before. All but one ended up qualifying. 3 shots in a quarter 5 times and 5 shots in a quarter 5 times. Open sights. Also worked a little on the shotgun range. First week in Aug I’m leading our troop on a shooting outing. Mainly shotguns. I enjoy teaching young people to safely shoot.
Good going!
Do Scouts still shoot the open sights at a range of 50 ft.? We actually didn't shoot notch and post open sights, but aperture sights. The front sight was probably open, but the rear was a "peep".
I'd give a purty if I had some of my old paper targets I shot as a boy at Scout camp.
