Marksmanship

The marksmanship program is based on Olympic-style competition. Self-confidence, acceptance of responsibility and sports etiquette are just some of the life skills acquired from the training. Marksmanship focuses on teaching cadets the proper use and safe handling of Air Rifle which was created specifically for the Canadian Cadet Movement. 

Marksmanship – Sundays (1300-1600) start-up in October
