Cadets from across the region tested their rifle skills in the first in-person marksmanship competition since 2020.
Cadets tested their skills on the weekend by shooting four targets with the hopes of getting as close to 400 points as possible for their chance to attend the provincial championship competition in Vernon during spring break.

Meanwhile, Gwen Myers, of the Nelson Osprey Air Cadet Squadron scored 311 out of a possible 400 points.
