November Shotgun Outing

The troop will be visiting the Sun Mountain Gun Club to experience the sport of Trap shooting. This outing requires a couple of permission slips to be turned in to the troop by November 8 so that the troop can have a proper headcount and buy the proper amount of ammunition for the day.

The troop Permission slip can be downloaded here

The Sun Mountain Gun Club permission slip can be downloaded here

Both forms and the activity fee must be turned in by November 8, 2010

Our goal for this outing is to give all of the scouts of Troop 116 an opportunity to learn how to properly handle a shotgun and try the sport of trap shooting.

The Gun Club has a snack bar on site and will have lunch available for purchase. Scouts may also bring their own lunch to eat on the premises. The activity fee for this outing is $30 per attendee. This will cover the costs of the range fee and ammo for 2 rounds of traps.

Mr Nishimoto has prepared a FAQ for the outing it can be downloaded here

For any other questions please contact Mister Nishimoto.
