Shooting for Explorer Scouts

Saturday 31st January

Saltney Ferry Explorers enjoyed a brilliant morning shooting with Phoenix Shooters. The event was very kindly organised by Mike and Mary. After a couple of Safety Sessions, one held a number of weeks before and one on the morning the lads were let loose with the real thing. Four Explorers, One Scout, Two Leaders, and a Parent attended. During the event they handled a number of guns, and they even managed to hit the target. This was quite an achievement bearing in mind the target was 100 metres away. The most popular guns used were those which used real gun powder, and a very powerful gun which one of the other shooters kindly let some Explorers Shoot. Everybody at the club made us feel most welcome, and a number of those attending are looking to continue with Shooting. Some pictures of the event can be found below:
