County Air Rifle Shooting Competition 2010

Hi All,

On Saturday 17th April 2010, three of our Scouts participated in this year's County Air Rifle Shooting competiton held at the National Indoor Shooting centre in Wolverhampton.

This was as a result of us doing so well in the District competition in February where we also scored the highest average score out of all the teams taking part.

In the County competition, two Members of our Troop were part of the Sutton Coldfield East Team A and one Member was part of Team B.

Each Scout took turns to fire at several targets some 10m away and their cards were marked accordingly.

At the end of the competition, the scores of each team were added up and put into rankings.

I am pleased to announce that Team B came 9th overall and Team A came 6th overall.

This is an improvement on our rankings in previous years and is due in no small part to all of our sessions we had at the Sutton Coldfield Shooting club for the Master-at-Arms badge.

A total of 12 teams took part.

Well done to Tom, Ryan & Jacob H for taking part and for representing the 6th so well.

Yours in Scouting

Adam
