2009-10-16/18 – Bisley 2009

This weekend saw members of Earley and Burne Scout Troops attended 33rd National Scout Target Shooting competition at NSRA Bisley in Guildford. We were blessed with dry weather, which was especially welcome when setting up and breaking camp, although a little cool on Sunday morning with a crisp ground frost. This was our second visit to this national competition and many of our number shot exceptionally well and improved significantly upon the scores achieved last year.  The competition was well organised and the standard of some of the other groups shooters was exceptionally high.  Whilst it is our aim at the 5th to continue to provide a full and well rounded scouting programme, we can see that there are a number of promising marksmen in our group who given the opportunity could do very well at future competitions.  Watch out National Squad, the 5th will be back next year……………… ;O)
