Do you have a Scout that has a partial Rifle Merit Badge from summer camp?
The Shooting Sports Committee is offering to help Scouts with Requirement 2. Option A - Rifle Shooting (Modern Cartridge Type) - j & k
- (j) Using a bolt-action .22 caliber rimfire rifle, and shooting from a benchrest or supported prone position at 50 feet, fire five groups (three shots per group) that can be touched by a quarter. Using these targets, explain how to adjust sights to zero a rifle.
- (k) Adjust sights to center the group on the target and fire five groups (five shots per group). In the event that your instructor determines it is not practical to adjust the sights—for instance, on a borrowed rifle—you may explain (rather than doing) how to adjust the sights, and then fire five groups (five shots per group) in which all shots can be touched by a quarter.
Please upload Blue Cards or printed paperwork and also bring with you to the range.
