Cadet 100 1st round results
 

The results are now in and are given below.

 

Scoring is done on the points dropped system. All scoring is done by outward gauging, i.e. the entire hole has to be in a ring to count as that score, and so the scores below are excellent.

It is possible to drop 200 points if no shots are on the targets. The top Cadet in the country dropped 2 points.

 

Place overall / points dropped / Name

 

121st / 26 / Dyson

136th / 29 / Hawkins

143rd / 30 / Fallon

186th / 35 / Coggin

 

The above 4 Cadets are through to the 2nd Round. The provisional date for this is the evening of Wednesday the 15th of February.

 

The following Cadets scored as below.

 

224th / 40 / Gaydon

293rd / 51 / Knight

293rd / 51 / Smith

357th / 61 / Naseby

518th / 108 / Bilbe

535th / 113 / Lowe

597th / 132 / Kendrew

 

Of the 1574 Cadets who entered, 837 had targets scored and listed.

 

In the team section our teams scored as below.

 

A Team (Hawkins/Dyson/Coggin/Knight)

 

19th overall / 1st in the Royal Anglian section

 

B Team (Fallon/Bilble/Gaydon/Naseby)

 

38th overall / 2nd in the Royal Anglian section

 

306 teams were entered, of whom 106 teams had targets scored and listed.

 

Our two teams were the only two teams badged Royal Anglian, but our scores would have given us victory in both the previous years.

 

The above is an excellent result for A Company, well done to all who participated.

 
Country Life Shoot 2012
  
We are now starting to train for this years shoot which will take place provisionally on the 10th of March 2012. This date is subject to the appointed witnesses availability.
 
We are still looking for some addtional shooters to make up the second team, see the dates page for practice shoots.
This competition has a more tactical feel to it, so it is a bit more fun. Please contact SMI Entwistle for more details.
 
In last years competition A Coy's Team came 14th out of the 78 teams scored in the Class B shoot with a score of 267, that's an improvement of one place over the previous year. We were also the 2nd best ACF team in the Class B shoot. We were in equal 9th place at the end of the 3rd detail (the Snap), so this years top priority will be to work on our "Target Indication" skills for the 4th detail (the Landscape target). However 14th was still an excellent result.

Salamanca therefore wins the Inter Detachment shoot. Well done.

 

85 teams entered the competition, of which 46 were scored.

Had Talavera had4th shooter scoring at the same average then they could have easily been first, if you are not in you can’t win!!!!

Under the rules in force the top 50% go through to the second round, so all of the teams above go into the second round.

 

The date for this is provisionally Saturday the 5th of February.

Council for Cadet Rifle Shooting
 
The following link will be of interest to any Cadets or Adults interested in competition shooting.
 
  
 
Future Shoots
 
Could all D.C.s and Adults please make sure that any Cadets sent for testing on shooting are trained, practiced and have carried out a WHT on the No8 and that Marksmanship Principles have been taught to the Cadet concerned. Please do this as the full run of proper lessons and make the Cadets practice dry drills as much as possible prior to attendance at the Range to give them the best chance of passing (with the minimum of ammo expenditure!!!!!).
