    How to Plan a Shooting Sports Activity for Your Troop 
     

  1. As part of the developing the Troop calendar for the year, have the Patrol Leaders Council (PLC) set a date that they want to participate in a shooting sports activity, with alternative dates in case the range is busy.  Be sure to check on the Council and District calendars to ensure there are no conflicts. (Note: if you do your planning and schedule months in advance, you are more likely to get the dates you want). 
     
  2. Download a Tour Planning Worksheet and a LPSR Shooting Sports Ranges & Equipment Permit from http://www.cacshootingsports.org/forms/forms.htm
     
  3. If your Troop does not have an NRA Instructor or you do not know one, contact first your District Shooting Sports Liaison (view names).  If that individual can't help contact Bill Agnell, Council Shooting Sports Chair; or Roy Kleinsasser (archery) and ask if they can arrange an instructor of the selected date(s). Go to www.cacshootingsports.org website for e-mail addresses.  At least a six week lead time is recommended for securing an instructor. At lost Pines, you will need both an NRA instructor and an NRA Range Safety Officer on the range.
     
  4. Decide if your troop will provide the shooting sports equipment (rifles, bows & arrows, shotguns, clays and thrower) or if you plan to rent from the Council. 
     
  5. Submit both the Lost Pines Short Term Permit and a LPSR Shooting Sports Ranges & Equipment Permit to the Scout office.

    Note:  The Council Shooting Sports Committee schedules NRA Rifle and Shotgun Instructor Courses each year as well as a National Archery Association Basic Instructor course.  Consider having an adult from your Troop or a group of troops becoming certified so that you have a resource when you need one.
