The
day is pretty intense as cadets are trained to the highest standard
so that they can operate safely with the weapons both in dry training
and when shooting on a live range. They are shown how to clean the
weapon as well as the firing drills and skills required to become a
marksman.
The
cadets will have the opportunity to put their newly learnt skills on
the live range in mid-July. Here they will be given different rates
of fire to practice which include deliberate, rapid and snap
shooting. Cadets will fire on an outdoor 25 metre range from the prone
position and under the close supervision and coaching of the safety
staff they will perfect their techniques to become the best shot of
the day.
