How old do Scouts have to be to take Rifle Shooting?
Campers for shooting sports should be, at minimum, second year campers for rifle shooting and third year campers for muzzle loading rifles and shotguns. Scouts must have the strength and size to manage a ten pound target rifle, while utilizing five different shooting positions. As a means to determine adequate size, the Scout should have a distance of at least thirteen inches between the tip of his thumb and the top of his upper arm.
