NRA/MarksmanshipRimfireQualificationProgram Winchester/NRA MARKSMANSHIP QUALIFICATION PROGRAM is a skill development program for anyone wishing to participate. Pre-registration is necessary. There is NO instruction given in this program. Scouts must have earned the Rifle Shooting Merit Badge prior to participating in this program. Rimfire Rifle Qualification Shooters may qualify for rimfire rifle ratings using the Benchrest position. Progression is self paced and scores are challenging but attainable. Shooters acquire the large discipline patch at the onset of the program and, as each rating is earned, they are entitled to all of the corresponding awards for that rating. Each rating level has a skill rocker award that recognizes and highlights the achievement, Pro-Marksman through Expert. Patches are available for purchase at the Trading Post for between $2.00 and $4.00 depending on the skill level. This program will take place at the Parnell Rifle Range.

Beaver Day is designed for volunteers to come to Boxwell for a day of readying the Reservation for summer camp.

Lunch will be provided for those who respond to the Scout office no later than 7 days before the Beaver Day they will be attending. Pass along copies of this flyer to other Scouters. We sure can use your help!!! See you on April 9 Please RSVP to Carl Adkins at cadkins@mtcbsa.org with estimated number of participates and unit type and number. - 45 -
