Air Rifle Shooting – Come and Try (Day 1)

To celebrate that we have re-established shooting at York Scout Activity Centre, Snowball Plantation we are offering an opportunity for Cubs, Scouts, Explorers and Leaders to book a slot to try it out.  We hope to then have a competition in Spring 2027, with prizes for the best scores.  Each participant will be allocated to a small group within a 30 minute time slot.  The cost will be £5 per person to be paid on the day by cash or card.  Please book a specific time slot on 10th or 11th October 2026 and provide data using the online booking form below.  We may need to shuffle a few bookings to make best use of the time available. We will confirm your booking and joining instructions at least a week before the event.

Participants aged under 18 must have a completed consent form: Shooting Permission Form Aug 2026.  Over 18s taking part should confirm that they are not prohibited from shooting activities under Section 21 of the Firearms Act 1968.

Participants need to check in at our campsite shop 30 minutes in advance of their booked session to allow sufficient time to process payments, walk across to the Activity Hub, and attend a safety briefing.

Refreshments will be available to purchase at the event from young people raising funds for an international Scouting trip.  We will also have a few fun activities to try whilst waiting. Parents are welcome to stay during the session.

Reserve a place below and pay on arrival at the event.  If Saturday does not suit we also have opportunities on 11th October.
