After our August campout which included qualifications for the Rifle Shooting and Shotgun Shooting merit badges, all of our Scouts had qualified for rifle but not all had completely qualified for shotgun. We headed back to the range in November to make sure all of them got a chance, and of course Troop 95 got it done! Every Scout that went back to the range got qualified for their Shotgun Shooting merit badge, and then everyone had a great time shooting the .22 rifles at distant targets, as well as playing various shooting games and competitions. The night we spent at the range included a very up close and personal visit from some coyotes in camp, but that experience, a beautiful starlit night, and the opportunity to gather together and shoot firearms to our heart's content helped to remind us all how lucky we are to live in such a beautiful and free Country.
