bakerboy Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 (edited) We have just held our 4th intro to Clay Shooting for youngsters day, and enjoyed the best weather so far. Total number of youngsters attending over the 4 month period the scheme has been running has now reached 165 , some have been repeat visitors but in the main new shooters. Ages have ranged from 6 years old (using 9mm garden gun at static tartgets) through to 14/15 years of age (a surprising number of adult non shooters who have brought the youngsters have wanted a try as well). Some of the youngsters have gone on to having lessons, and a number of youngsters that cannot make the day (second Sunday of each month) have come along on differing days and we have been able to accomodate; in fact on June 23rd we have a party of 40 young girls coming along, with another party of young girls of a similar number arranging a date to come along as well. From the 1 stand we use, we can offer a slow going away target, a high incrossing incomer left to right, these can then be taken as report pair, and then as a simultaneous pair, depending on ability. BASC have been very supportive with little give aways and information booklets, the Shooting Diary in particular has gone down very well. Local Gun Shops have also been supportive by advertising the day. The biggest thank you though must go to Claudio and Theresa the owners of the ground for allowing this little scheme to operate. The flier we have been using to advertise the day is being re vamped courtesy of handlebar, I will post it up as soon as I receive it.

bakerboy Posted May 13, 2013 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 sounds great... both of my girls want to give shooting a go. Where are you holding the events and how much is itper child ? The A1 shooting ground at Borehamwood, so not too far from you. £15.00 for 15 shots and coaching, they always get a few more shots, plus little give aways and a certificate to say they hit a clay. Normally take them from 9 years of age upwards subject to size. PM me for more details if you want. Terry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
