- 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).
- Download a Tour Planning Worksheet and a LPSR Shooting Sports Ranges & Equipment Permit from
http://www.cacshootingsports.org/forms/forms.htm
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
