Skill At Arms Team at Longmoor Camp on Hampshire.The 2 days were aimed at the older more experienced cadets in the Wing to provide a more challenging firing environment focusing on service style shooting using the L98 rifle.
With the highest number of staff ever in attendance on an SAA weekend, an L98 conversion course was run for those who currently held .22 qualifications. This succesfully resulted in Sgt Fievez becoming L98 qualified in Weapons Instruction and Range Management Qualifications.
For the first time in the history of Herts and Bucks Wing shooting the Electonic Target Range was used. With numberous practises being fired the cadets and staff all got to gain some experience in long range shooting with some practises using advancing movements.
The weekend was a great accomplishment and with another Advanced SAA weekend being run in October the SAA Team look forward to continuing success of these weekends.Flt Lt Matt
Oram, the Wing Shooting Officer said "I was especially pleased with the motivation and enthusiasm of the staff throughout the weekend. Some of the advanced practices we were firing required a high level of supervision, I would like to thank all of the staff who attended the weekend, they all got stuck in and did a great job."In addition to the Advanced Skill At Arms Weekend, there are 3 standard weekends being run throughout 2008 which will give the younger cadets a chance to develop their marksmanship techniques as well as train and fire on a whole range of weapons.
Any question regarding Shooting events please speak to Sgt Fievez
