We are pleased to report that the 2025 Junior Macnab Challenge was an outstanding success, with a total of 180 young participants taking part over the course of the three-day event.

  • Friday welcomed 50 enthusiastic attendees, setting a strong start to the weekend.

  • Saturday achieved a significant milestone with 70 participants, establishing a new single-day attendance record for the Junior MacNab Challenge.

  • Sunday concluded the event with another excellent turnout of 60 participants.

Supported by BASC, the Scottish Youth & the Countryside Education Trust (SYCET), and many others, the Junior Macnab Challenge is about encouraging young people to discover and develop their countryside skills such as air rifling, fly fishing, and clay shooting.

We extend our sincere thanks to our sponsors: Bushwear, Walkers, Hoggs of Fife, and Glasgow Angling Centre, whose valued support continues to make this event possible.

We are also grateful to the National Target Shooting Association for delivering the air rifle sessions, and to Kinross Fly Fishing for running the fishing activities. Their expertise and professionalism played a key role in providing a safe and enjoyable experience for all participants.

See you for 2026!
