Junior Target Shooting Camp
SSAA NSW Junior Discipline hosts fi rst camp for 2016
More than 20 junior shooters from around NSW took
part in the 2016 SSAA NSW Junior Target Shooting
Camp held from Friday 15 to Monday 18 January at the
Silverdale Rifl e Range.
The juniors, who all held Minor's Firearm Permits, had
the opportunity to gain hands on experience in a range
of disciplines through various coaching clinics. Each
clinic was run by coaches and shooters with experience
in that discipline.
The shotgun shooting clinic was particularly exciting for
the juniors as it was led by shotgun shooters Michael
McNabb and Gemma Dunn who have represented
Australia at international events.
As well, there were clinics on Lever Action, Brenchrest,
Rimfi re Silhouette and Cadet Rifl e 3-Positional as well
as information sessions on fi rearms safety, mechanics
and ballistics.
Every junior and volunteer left the camp with a smile on
their face. Thank you to all the coaches, volunteers and
supervisors who gave their time to make the camp a
success. Thank you also to SSAA NSW Sydney Branch
for making their Silverdale Range available and to NIOA
for supplying the ammunition for the comp.
