Welcome to Ten Ring
Ten Ring was honored this spring at the BSA Northern Star Council's Venturing awards dinner with an Envision Adventure Award. We would like to thank the Council for the recognition and were pleased to be able to work with them to deliver programs that the youth enjoy.
We are here to train and educate youth, their leaders and others in the SAFE and FUN activities that can be enjoyed in the shooting sports and the great outdoors.
And we have set our training schedule for 2011, check it out in the training page.
Venture Blaze Away Day a Hit!
On August 23, thirty-three Ventures from crews throughout the Council gathered at Beaverbrook Sportsmen’s Club in East Bethel to learn about and shoot large caliber rifles, pistols and shotguns. Venture Crew 410 and Ten Ring, a Minnesota non-profit corporation and Chartered Partner sponsored the event. All staff were trained Scouters. Traditional paper targets were non-existent! Instead clay birds, balloons, water bottles and other such fare were the targets of choice. Also the ventures using small-bore rifles had the opportunity to challenge each other with “Dueling Posts.” After the rifles and some trap shooting they moved on to handguns using 38 caliber double action revolvers for shooting at bowling pins trying for that one shot “Strike”; then with a 38 Single Action Army type pistols they attempted to shoot a Cowboy Action match with a “Nevada Sweep” on some steel targets. (That’s Cowboy lingo, Pilgrim) Then time being what it was we all migrated to the BBQ for some burgers, dogs and beans.
