Range, Familiariazation and Competitive Shooting
This page explains a bit about the air rifle used and what a cadet does on the range.
   This year we hope to enter a team in the Provincial Competition, held in Regina in Mar 01. There are also other mail in competitions which we hope to enter into, both in the air rifle and possibly with our .22 cal #7's and get some familiarization shooting on the .22 cal Anschutz target rifle.
The cadets shoot the Air rifle from a distance of 10 metres.
The cadets are trained in:
- Proper firearms handling
- Competition shootin
     For competition shooting a team is made up of 5 shooter (2 of which must be 14 yrs old or younger).  Each shooter gets 5 minutes to sight in their rifle (unlimited rounds) and 20 minutes to shoot 20 rounds at 20 bulls.  Each bull is worth 10 points and there are 10 bulls per target.  The highest possible score per target is 100 points.
     Along with each shooter, there can be 1 cadet spotter.  The spotters job is to watch and make sure that:
- the shooter is firing at the proper target/bull.
- no one else has fired at the shooters target.
- zero in the shooter to the bull for more accuracy
- fix any minor problems that the shooter may encounter.
