BSA is piloting the use of pistols are re shooting sports area. They have 22
Caliber and also 9 millimeter.
I had a first hand experience with this today since I volunteered at the pistols and high caliber rifle range today.
It is very a very controlled environment. On the 20 lane pistol range, each lane had a trained instructor which meant one on one with the scout.
The scouts also went though several orientations to ensure they understood the operation of the range.
I know around 8 of our scouts were at The Barrels (shooting range) but I did not run across them.
Below is a picture of the ATV activity. I so not think any of our scouts are doing it.
The thing that impresses me about BSA now - they are opening up their eyes to the activities and understanding they can be fun AND safe at the same time. It should help keep the older scouts interested.
