Boy Scouts of America® National Shooting Sports Manual Boy Scouts of America® National Shooting Sports Manual Acknowledgments BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA® NATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS MANUAL BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA® NATIONAL SHOOTING SPORTS MANUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENTS The Boy Scouts of America greatly appreciates the National Shooting Sports Task Force and sub-task force members for their expertise and recommendations in the development of the Boy Scouts of America National Shooting Sports Manual. For their substantial contributions to the writing of this manual and commitment to Scouting, the BSA would also like to thank Larry Quandahl, Mark Belli, and Connie Elliott of the National Rifle Association, Youth Programs Education and Training Division. A Word About Youth Protection Child abuse is a serious problem in our society, and unfortunately, it can occur anywhere, even in Scouting. Youth safety is of paramount importance to Scouting. For that reason, the BSA continues to create barriers to abuse beyond what have previously existed in Scouting. The Boy Scouts of America places the greatest importance on providing the most secure environment possible for our youth members. To maintain such an environment, the BSA has developed numerous procedural and leadership selection policies, and provides parents and leaders with numerous online and print resources for the Cub Scout, Boy Scout, and Venturing programs. The BSA requires Youth Protection training for all registered leaders. New leaders are required to complete Youth Protection training. To take the training online, go to www.MyScouting.org and establish an account using the member number you receive when you register for BSA membership. If you take the training online before you obtain a member number, be sure to return to MyScouting and enter your number for training record credit. Your BSA local council also provides training on a regular basis if you cannot take it online. For more information, refer to the back of the BSA adult membership application, No. 524-501. Youth Protection training must be taken every two years—regardless of position. If a volunteer does not meet the BSA’s Youth Protection training requirement at the time of recharter, the volunteer will not be reregistered. We encourage all adults, including all parents, to take the BSA’s Youth Protection training. To find out more about the Youth Protection policies of the Boy Scouts of America and how to help Scouting keep your family safe, see the Parent’s Guide in any of the Cub Scouting or Boy Scouting handbooks, or go to http://www.scouting.org/Training/YouthProtection.aspx.

The National Rifle Association, working with the BSA and the Shooting Sports Committee, reviewed BSA documents referencing shooting sports and has compiled that information into this new format, putting the information under one cover. This manual contains all BSA-approved shooting sports activities and must be adhered to. No other shooting sports are authorized at this time. Information on approved firearms, ranges, qualified supervision, training requirements, targets, and ammunition is included. Updates of this manual between printings will be available at www.scouting.org/outdoorprograms under the “Shooting Sports” tab. Section I, “The Essentials,” contains information important and relevant to all individuals involved in the shooting sports programs. This includes leaders, merit badge counselors, council shooting sports chairs, council shooting sports committee members, National Camping School shooting sports directors, council camping committees, camp personnel, professionals, and all others who may be assisting in the various shooting sports programs. Sections II through VI contain information relevant and necessary for individuals involved in shooting sports on a higher level and providing the program for youth. This includes NRA instructors, NRA range safety officers, council shooting sports chairs, council shooting sports committee members, NRA coaches, council professionals, camping committees, camp rangers, National Camping School shooting sports directors, and all others involved in helping to organize events and assisting in the delivery of shooting programs throughout the year.

  • Intro to Archery
    INTRODUCTION TO ARCHERY TARGET ARCHERY This the most commonly practiced form of archery worldwide and is practiced within most Archery Australia clubs. Target tournaments are conducted regularly and held both indoors and outdoors. Shooting distances vary from 18 metres (indoor) to 90 metres (outdoor), with target sizes being 40 or 60 centimetres for indoors and either 80 or 122 centimetres for outdoors. Targets have five colours with each colour being divided into 2 to provide 10 scoring zones. The innermost ring is given a value of 10 points, down to the outermost ring with a value of 1 point. Target rounds involve shooting a set number of arrows over one or several distances. Indoor events involve shooting a total of either 30 or 60 arrows; with outdoor events shooting 72, 90, 120 or 144 arrows are shot. FIELD ARCHERY Field archery is a challenging outdoor discipline in which the archer takes on the terrain as well as the target. Field archery is a combination of archery, golf, and bush walking. A course is set up in a bush land setting taking advantage of hills, slopes, angles and light and shade. A field course is made up of either 24 or 28 targets depending on the round being shot. The archer is required to shoot either three or four arrows at each target. Distances range from 10 to 60 metres and target face sizes vary from 20 to 80 centimetres. CLOUT ARCHERY Clout archery is another popular discipline in Australia because due to its fun aspect. Clout archery is derived from medieval warfare where archers would lob arrows onto the advancing army.

The objective of the organization was to establish a safe location for general shooting, hunter safety and law enforcement training. A depleted gravel pit, known as the Wilkinson Gravel Pit located 5 miles South West of Cass Lake was chosen. In the fall of 2000 Cass County Environmental Service Dept. approved reclassification of the pit for use as a range and a lease agreement was entered into between Cass County and NMRA. The range was named Gordy Buchanan Memorial Range after a long time area conservation officer who conducted many hunter safely classes in that pit. With a matching grant from LCMR and the help of the Leech Lake Tribal Construction Crew, the initial dirt work of leveling the bottom of the pit and establishing the range was undertaken. Once the leveling and basic dirt work was done, the installation of some 100 yard target backers and bench rests made the pit start looking like a shooting range. Then came a trap shooting area with an old used manual trap thrower. That has now progressed to a more modern automatic PAT trap with an active summer trap league.
