Marksmanship Team
The Marksmanship Team hones their air rifle skills on the range. The better the shooter, the closer together each of the pellets will appear on the target sheet. Cadets can expect to master breathing techniques and sighting skills, while prioritizing the safe handling of rifles.
A zone competition is held annually in February, where top shooters have the ability to advance to the provincial level. Successful competitors are encouraged to attend the Marksmanship Instructor Course.
