On May12th 2007,
members of the Barbados Cadet Corps shooting
program engaged in their first in house shooting
competition. After only a few weeks of training, the
cadets were full of confidence and determination
.
Though some cadet
shooters were away due to another Corps exercise,
the three pairs of teams showcased their new mastery
and skills learnt from coach, Marlon Best,
with fine form and precision.
They have already
started to issue challenges- suggesting to their OC,
Ocdt D Smith that he could invite other officers who
"feel they can shoot, to bring it on.
"
The program continues
on Saturday 19th May at the BRPA (Barbados Rifle and
Pistol Association range in Waterford.

Meanwhile, arrangements are
being finalized for necessary equipment to be acquired
for the program. It is expected that state-of-the-art
equipment and gear will shortly be provided for the
program. Already
plans are in train for a national junior team to
participate in a number of competitions coming up over
the next two years. These include the upcoming
Commonwealth Junior Games scheduled for India in 2008.
Congratulations to those
involved in this novel program and especially on the
outstanding start in training. |
