Summary:
This team can be fun, challenging, and is very competitive. Cadets shoot .177 caliber air rifles from prone, kneeling, and standing positions.
The team consists of a joint team (cadets from all 3 schools) of dedicated shooters with the drive and determination to gain skill in the field of riflery. After passing a mandatory rifle safety test, each cadet practices their shooting to become proficient and qualify to participate in unit rifle matches. The goal for each cadet is to be qualified as a marksman. The team participates in two different types of competition; postal matches, in which all three schools shoot and the targets are mailed in to a judge, and shoulder-to-shoulder matches where students travel to matches against opposing teams face-to-face. The team travels to Waffle House for traditional ‘after-match’ celebrations (win or lose). As an extra little perk, cadets can earn medals for high scores, where they are graded at how well they score by hitting as close as possible to the bull’s-eyes.
