Cadet Small Bore Interservice Final

Cadet Small Bore Interservice Final

Last Saturday, two teams from our North West Area took aim and represented the Corps in the Cadet Forces Interservice Small Bore Finals, also known as the Punch & Shell! 

In the Punch round, teams of four cadets took aim at two 10-spot targets, competing for the highest team score. Sea Cadets came out on top, clinching the overall victory after almost three decades since Cambridge Unit won in 1996!

In the Shell showdown, three cadets from each service targeted a board adorned with chalk spots. It was a race against time as the first team to hit all spots emerged victorious! Sea Cadets secured 2nd place overall, proudly bringing home silver medals!

BZ to our steady-handed cadets for showcasing their marksmanship and teamwork. Cadets are taught rifle handling skills and undertake range target shooting as part of a structured programme of supervised training that emphasises safe and responsible use.
