on Shooting Sports

Shooting Sports

This page is preliminary.  Its goal is to identify activities that can be run at the Pack, Troop, and Crew level along with people who have the necessary training to run these activities.

Rangemasters is an out of date document discussing some of Simon Kenton Council's policies regarding Shooting Sports.

Rather than shoot from the hip (sorry), I'm going to leave this page incomplete until I have more current information.  If you have information and/or comments appropriate to this page, feel welcome to leave them in the discussion area.

Rangemaster Training

Rangemaster training covers basic aspects of running a BB gun or archery event for cub scouts.  The training takes about 3 hours and is typically held in the spring.   Additional rangemaster trainings are scheduled when needed to qualify rangemasters for Council or District events.  These additional trainings will be announced at Roundtable and posted on the Buckeye District website if possible.
Equipment

Venture Crew 45 maintains bb guns and archery equipment for Buckeye District events.  Inventory currently includes
  • 9 Crossman BB Guns
  • 20 pairs of safety goggles
  • range materials (film cans, clothespins, twine)
  • 18 Fiberglass bows
  • 4 dozen arrows
  • 10 archery targets
This may be supplemented by equipment owned by Council, i.e. additional arrows and Genesis compound bows.  Contact Al Magnuson for information.
