For some years, the District Shooting Team has been planning to organise the opportunity for district scouts to participate in the Youth Proficiency Scheme for Rifle Shooting.

We are now in the position to offer the 10-week scheme starting

Thursday 28th September 2023

We are looking for those who may be interested to show their interest in taking part. The course is an opportunity for children to learn more about the art of target shooting and provides them with all the knowledge they need to compete in rifle shooting competitions. The course allows participants to shoot every week and learn about the Law, care of the equipment, shooting safety, grouping, and so much more!

At the end of the Course, Participants will participate in a mock competition and test, which, when added together, will give them a badge and title depending on their scores. The grades achievable are;

  • Skilled Shot
  • Marksman
  • Expert
  • Master Shot

All the Participants will have the opportunity to progress to other awards if they so wish.

If you have reached this point and feel your child may be interested, please fill out the form below.


There is no commitment to attend at this stage, but it will give us an idea of how many people may be interested in attending.

Only a limited number of places are available on this course, so it will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis.
