967 Air Cadets

What are you doing this weekend?

Shooting

Corps Marksmanship Badge

Corps Marksmanship Brassard Badge

One of the most popular activites within the ATC is shooting and the associated marksmanship skills.

From very early in your time as a Cadet we’ll teach you how to handle a weapon safely and shoot accurately. It requires a great deal of concentration and skill to hit a target consistently and accurately. As you develop your skills you’ll be given the opportunity to fire over longer distances with a variety of weapons. Everytime you shoot it’ll be working towards one of 4 Marksmanship badges:

  • Squadron
  • Wing
  • Region
  • Corps

Have a look at the pictures below to see what you might get up to…
