Scout Appreciation Day

On May 25th, Fundy Shooting Sports hosted their annual “Scout Appreciation Day” with 36 Scouts, 11 Leaders, assorted parents and around 15 club members in attendance.

The Scouts were given a Firearms Safety Presentation on the two types of firearm actions (20 gauge pump shotgun and bolt action .22LR rifle) they would be using. We divided them into two groups and one went to the 25/50 Yard Rifle Range to shoot paper targets, charcoal BBQ briquettes, resettable steel targets and balloons. The other half, went to the 100 Yard Range and were given the opportunity to shoot at 5 thrown aerial targets with a 20 gauge shotgun.

A BBQ lunch was served up with Hotdogs and Hamburgers. Each Scout received a Fundy Shooting Sports camo hat, a participation medal, ball compass, carabineer, light sticks, swag from the New Brunswick Wildlife Trust Fund which included, pencil, ruler, whistles, decals, postcard information as well a NBWTF newsletter.
