In this elective you will develop Skill at Arms through the sport of Biathlon using an electronic biathlon rifle. This rifle’s shooting functions are based on infrared light and camera and it is completely safe, with no bullets, lasers or noise.
Marksmanship can be defined as ‘skill at precision shooting’. To be ‘Skilled at Arms’ means you have learned the self-discipline to enable you to handle firearms in a safe and responsible manner.
Our new Skill At Arms elective explores marksmanship skills using an optical biathlon rifle. A cadet will apply the knowledge of the features of the equipment, firing techniques and firearms safety in a biathlon event.
