🏆 Top RAFAC Team at CARM 🏆
Earlier this year 8 cadets from 2419 competed in the inaugural National Cadet Air Rifle Meeting (CARM). The event was held at Bisley over 3 days, in a venue originally setup to host the Commonwealth Games.
The cadets shot head to head against cadets from the ACF, SCC and CCF - in both individual and team events. They were able to use electronic targets, enabling them to see each shot and make corrections if needed. Targets were also displayed on large screens around the venue, making it easy for team members to follow the action.
Our cadets did brilliantly. Our A team finished as the Top RAFAC Team - narrowly squeezed into 4th place overall by 3 strong ACF teams. In the Overall Individual Community Cadet competition Sgt Alishetty finished an amazing 17th out of 83 cadets. Followed by Sgt Lardner in 21st, Cpl Deacon in 28th, Cdt Abdur-Rahman in 32nd and Cpl Smith in 34th. All 5 earning themselves a Cadet 50. Sgt Alishetty was selected to shoot for RAFAC in the inter service final, with Sgt Lardner selected as a reserve.
And it wasn’t all about the cadets! Our very own WO Norris came 2nd in the Adult competition!
[Cadets are taught weapon handling skills as part of a structured programme of supervised training, that emphasises safe and responsible use. All shooting activities are supervised by qualified staff]
