NOSA Junior Shooters' Indoors Wednesday Shoots Recommenced 04 January 2023
The following procedures will apply.
Juniors' shooting will take place at the Thunder Bay District Fish and Game facility at 260 Pento Road. Juniors' Shooter is on Wednesday nights, the parents must bring them to the entrance gate there promptly between 6:45 and 7 p.m., when volunteers will have the gate unlocked.
Arrival procedures: When the Jrs arrive, they will proceed to the clubhouse; there they will Sign In and find out what line they are on.
We will have a short class, in the club house. They will remain in the clubhouse until their line is called. Parents are welcome to wait in the clubhouse.
When the Jr’s line is called they will proceed into the range. And wait for further instructions from the range officers.
We are going to use both sides of Range One, setting up air on one side and .22RF on the other. 5 Jrs per line. They will shoot air, then .22RF. That line of Jrs will then go back to the clubhouse to score their targets, with the help of Samantha. Depending on the time, we may have time to run the lines again.
We ask that returning Juniors please bring their safety glasses and hearing protection that was supplied. New Juniors will be assigned a bag with safety glasses and hearing protection to take care of. We supply the first set. If these are lost or damaged the parents will be responsible to supply any others. It will be their responsibility to bring these items weekly to Jr Shooters. For health and safety reasons, if they don’t bring them, they can’t shoot!
If you have any questions please feel free to call, text, or email Samantha -- 626-4003 or daxterxxxxtbaytel.net (but first replace the xxxx with the normal email symbol).
