Continuing excellence in Air gun shooting:
Hampshire Scouts regularly excel at the National Scout Air Rifle Championships and the Scout Inter-County airgun competition and contribute many members to the National Scout Rifle Squad, the Great Britain Junior Rifle Squad, and the GB Rifle Squad.   Some members have gone on to shoot at The World Championships and in the Commonwealth Games. Some are in the official GB squads training now for the 2012 Olympic Games.

Competitive "Sporter" air rifle shooting, using essentially unmodified low cost, entry-level air rifles of conventional appearance, offers the ideal way for young people to progress in the sport. It is now possible for under-21s to compete at International level under this code. Find out more about "Sporter Air Rifle". .

. The club also organises the National Scout Air Rifle Championships at Bisley.

Take part in a Postal Shooting Competition for Scouts organised by the 1st Liphook Scout Group. (Entries open until 15th December 2007)
