tx4cabbie Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Some scouting friends and I used to run the clay shooting stand at the Essex County jamboree. Excellent event, lots of new recruits to shooting, and great fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I understand the numbers to be between 7,500 and 10,000. It is going to be a busy but enjoyable week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lister22 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Pity you cannot get them on to rifles Hope it gets some hooked for life Great idea Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadeye18 Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Good effort!should do rifle shooting too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David BASC Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Indeed, and with all the contacts we will make over the week with scout leaders from across the UK we will be approaching scout groups after the event offering our coaches to deliver more shotgun coaching and air rifle coaching at a local level. I plan to also start linking scout groups into local shooting grounds and shooting clubs and BASC coaches where possible. As i said at the start, this has the potential to be massive legacy for shooting David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

greenshank1 Posted July 6, 2016 Report Share Posted July 6, 2016 Well Done Basc Giving all these kids a chance to shoot is a brilliant opportunity. My son had a great lesson on Saturday at Scone , where the Basc coaches took time to discover his eye dominance had actually changed and went on to give him great hints and tips to take forward. Good work Basc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Marshall Posted July 7, 2016 Report Share Posted July 7, 2016 Funnily enough I was actually coaching at Scone, and I did have a young lad who's eye dominance had changed. It might have been me who was the coach. Peter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
