Marksmanship
The goal of the Marksmanship Programme is to develop Army Cadets' interest in marksmanship in a safe and proficient environment.
Army Cadets Shine at National Marksmanship
 |
 |
 |
All Army Cadets did extremely well at the National Cadet Marksmanship Competition 2006, held from May 6-12, in Regina, Saskatchewan. However, the following achievements deserve a special mention.
Cadet Gregory Perron of 2483 Esquimalt Princess Patricia’s RCACC proved to be Canada’s Top Cadet Air Rifle Marksman. He was awarded the Vamplew Trophy and he will receive a custom made embroidered shooting jacket, courtesy of the League.
Cadet Perron’s Unit Team, composed of cadets G. Edge, N. Morrison, R. DeVeau and A. Reddeu, also received the title of Top Army Cadet Unit. They were awarded the reactivated King George V Challenge Cup. As well, each member of the team went home with a 1 oz silver bar, beautifully mounted in a shadow box with the following inscription on the back:
Bringing the Silver Home In the XIX century, when marksmanship competitions were first organized in the British Empire, competitors would compete for a purse of currency known One of the oldest and most prestigious of these competitions is the 146 year In keeping with that tradition, this 1oz bar of sterling silver has been symbolically presented to you because of your outstanding achievements at the National Cadet Marksmanship Competition 2006, in Regina. |
Also from British Columbia, Cadet Rebekah McCutcheon, 3005 11th Service Battalion RCACC, won the award for Best Marksmen in Canada - Junior Category. But the gold medal for this category isn’t all she received. She left the awards ceremony looking like a Christmas tree in her green uniform decorated with five gold medals, two silver medals, one bronze medal, two framed perfect score targets and two banners as decorations. Another Army Cadet, Pascal Messiaen Dieppe RCACC, in New Brunswick, won the bronze in the Best Marksman in Canada – Junior Category.
As well, the Ontario Composite Team 3 happily went home five hundred dollars richer. After solving the “Get to Know Regina” scavenger hunt, cadets K. Montagnese, K. Rogowski, B. Bérubé, S. Glogowski, CI.
Herbert, K. Villeneuve each left with a crisp $100 bill in their pocket.
This all Army team also won gold in the Top Composite Team category.
