Shooting
Cadets have the opportunity to shoot in the Air Training Corps,
with marksmanship on the training syllabus. Cadets at 617 sqn use 0.22 bore,
single shot, bolt action No.8 rifles in a local indoor rifle range.
Safety briefings and training are given to cadets before they can fire a weapon.
Cadets over 14yrs old may fire the L98 Cadet GP rifle.
The L98 is a non-automatic version of the standard British rifle on current issue -
the Enfield L85A1.
Cadets are supervised at all times by Range Officers who are
trained and authorised by the MOD to conduct range practices.
