Shooting is one of the most sort after activities according to a survey carried out by the ACF Magazine, with 85% of cadets across the country saying they wished they did more shooting. Shropshire ACF are dedicated to delivering shooting at detachment level once a month and a large and vast amount of shooting at the weekends. In order to archive this there is an element of classroom based teaching, this includes hands-on experience and theory work. Once a cadet has shown he/she can handle the weapon they will take part in a weapons test, on completion of this they are deemed safe enough to fire the weapon on a live firing range.

Below is the all the weapon systems we fire in shropshire ACF

		The Air Rifle is used to instruct a cadet in the basics of shooting and to build confidence and ability before advancing onto other weapons.
		The No8 (.22) rifle is the first weapon a cadet will be allowed to fire that uses live ammunition.
		Once cadets have proved themselves to be proficient with the No8 Rifle, they will be able to train and fire the Cadet GP Rifle.
		Once cadets have proved themselves to be proficient with the Cadet GP Rifle, they will be able to train and fire the Light Support Weapon (LSW).
		When cadets have established the use of all weapons and are more experienced in the techniques of shooting they can progress on to the Target Rifle.
		When a cadet is fully aware with the techniques of shooting they can progress on to the sport of Clay Target Shooting.
