Request Shooting Sports Equipment

Range masters should use this form to request shooting sports equipment for a district or council event.

Cub Scouts can shoot BB gun rifles, slingshots, and archery at a council or district event, but not at a unit event.

A copy of the certification for each range master (must meet BSA requirements) must be attached to this submission form before requests can be considered. A maximum of four documents (.doc, .docx, .zip, .pdf) can be submitted. If the documents are over 10 MB, please compress (zip) them.

Important: Cub Scout bows are for Cub Scouts only; not for Scouts older than 5th grade or adults. When an adult or Scouts older than 5th grade uses a Cub Scout bow, it stresses the bow. It also damages the arrows because a Cub Scout range firing line is closer to the target; the extra velocity tears up the bows. Do not allow Scouts older than 5th grade or adults to shoot the Cub Scout bows.

Quartermaster Equipment

Important: The event chair will request quartermaster equipment (e.g., barricade fencing, targets, t-post, t-post driver, tables, small parking cones for quivers) from the council quartermaster team when they place the order for the district or council event. Contact your event chair to request any needed equipment.

All range masters will follow all guidelines set forth in the BSA National Shooting Sports Manual.

BB and archery ranges will have one certified range master for every eight shooters. Wrist rockets will have one adult per Scout shooting and one certified Range Master per range.

The range masters will evaluate the property to ensure that the property and ranges meets all guidelines set forth in the Boy Scouts of America National Shooting Sports Manual.

The perimeter will be visibly marked off with caution tape or other material so no one can enter downrange.

The ready area and firing line will be clearly identified with a designated safe waiting area for spectators.

The range layout and limits and fall areas will be acceptable. Reference BSA National Shooting Sports Manual.

All equipment will be properly cared for. Broken or missing equipment due to damage will be charged to charged to the district event budget at replacement value. Normal wear and tear will not result in a charge.

Bow stringers will always be used to string bows.

Any nonworking equipment will be tagged and defects noted when equipment is returned. Use painters tape or paper/rubber band to mark equipment that needs to be fixed; do not use duct tape.

All equipment will be returned to the council no later than the Friday after the event.

I will not let adults or Scouts older than age 11 shoot the Cub Scout bows or on a Cub Scout range. Adults and older Scouts that pull on Cub Scout bows ruin the bow.
