Youth Proficiency Scheme (YPS) Shooting Certification Success for Scouts
Four scouts completed their National Small Bore Rifle Association (NSRA) grading last week, resulting in 3 x Expert Shot and 1 Skilled Shot gradings. All participants also qualify for their Scout Master-at-Arms award.
The YPS course was run over the 2022-23 season and comprised 9 modules covering the firearms law, range safety, sighting, shooting technique and scoring amongst others. This is the first cohort to complete the programme in Farnham, which can also benefit those seeking to demonstrate skills competency in their Duke of Edinburgh Award.
The scouts attended multiple air rifle and air pistol shoots at The Lord Roberts Centre (Bisley), Taylor Hall and Garners Field and also completed a taster clay shooting session at Chobham Ridges range last summer.
Many congratulations to these Top Guns!
