Another exciting activity you will have the opportunity to participate in is shooting. It is one of the activities that differentiates the Cadets from other youth organisations. Learning to shoot rifles will teach you a number of key skills, the most important of which are discipline and safety awareness. It also brings with it a great sense of achievement.

About our activities Firearms training International exchange program Powerboating Sailing Tall ships STEM National activities

The ANC has a comprehensive firearms safety training program that works with .22 calibre rifles (Bruno CZ452). Cadets learn the safe handling of the rifle before they have the chance to participate in a ‘live fire’ at a rifle range.

Marksmanship goes a long way back in the history of Cadets. Shooting is one of our most popular activities. If you think you can concentrate on distant targets and fire with consistent accuracy? It is not easy. It requires focus, concentration on breathing, a very steady hand and gentle control.

We will teach you to handle a variety of firearms safely. Basic firing is always done lying on your stomach (the prone position) at static targets (round circles). Progress through the firearm syllabus and you could win the chance to participate in shooting competitions (both regional and national).
