Cadets from Warwickshire & Birmingham Wing attended a week-end L98 Dry Training Course thanks to the support of the RAF Regiment Flight at DCAE Cosford.

Utilising the Regiment's facilities and training rooms, the Wing's Small Arms Training Team, consisting of qualified RCOs' and Weapons Instructors, were able to put the 20 cadets from across the Wing through their paces. The Course is the first of several planned this year and supports the Wings commitment to train a 100 plus cadets per year on the L98 GP Rifle.

Following the pre-requisite number of training hours on the weapon, the cadets are given their Weapon Handling Test and then taken onto the Range at Cosford to fire the weapon.

Shooting in the Corps is major activity for the cadets and with proper training is a safe and enjoyable sport that enables the cadets to gain a variety of marksmanship awards and improve their military skills.
