ABOUT SHOOTING

The Cadet Marksmanship Program is a challenging and competitive sports program accessible to all cadets. It develops skills through superior training and Olympic-style competition. This is why every year, thousands of cadets participate in this fun and rewarding program.
Cadets have the opportunity to participate in a series of competitions at the local level that culminate in provincial/territorial competitions and an annual National Cadet Marksmanship Championship.

WHO WE ARE
The Air Rifle Marksmanship team comprises the most elite precision shooters at 2799.  A high degree of dedication, determination, mental management, and commitment is required to be on this highly skilled and competitive team. 
The Air Rifle team trains once per week as a team; Usually starting in November and will occasionally include full-day Saturday practices.  Team members are expected to train in the mental side of shooting as well between practice.  The Air Rifle season consists of three progressive competitions:  Zones, Regionals, & Nationals.  The team also competes in some additional competition events, both with other cadets and on the civilian circuit, such as the Bawden Shoot, Tartan Shoot, QYRANG Invitational and the Canadian Airgun Grand Prix.

HOW TO JOIN
Lt J Kasper will host Junior and Open Development nights at the start of the season (date TBA).  Cadets are encouraged to come out to these opportunities to gain experience and skills before tryouts.  Every cadet in the corps will have the chance to shoot throughout the year for their qualification and one of these shoots will happen in line with out season tryout.  ANY cadet can tryout for the team regardless of experience or marksmanship ability.  If successful in making the first cut, you will then start practicing with the team.  There will be multiple "cuts" during the season and 5 cadets will make the final team selection, usually 3 seniors and 2 juniors. 
The 2799 marksmanship team has a long and successful history in the Cadet program.  2799 is one of the top shooting Corps in Canada, having advanced to the National Cadet Marksmanship Championship many years and continually earning spots on the podium! This past year the team came 2nd in Canada!
