Jones IVSyracuse Cadet Squadron hosted an NRA Rifle Course Bivouac in May that led to all 28 cadets and six senior members passing the basic rifle shooting course.

In addition, 16 of the cadets and four senior members went on to earn the Winchester/NRA Pro-Marksmanship certification.

The two-and-a-half-day bivouac took place at Verona Beach State Park, with classroom instruction and shooting at Oneida Rifle Club.

Calling it “a huge success,” Squadron Commander First Lt. Matt Mallory said he received a congratulatory email from head NRA instructor Dave Klish, who praised the CAP cadets.

Cadets practicing at the outdoor range“I commend you on a fantastic group of young men and women,” Klish wrote. “To mold them into what you have is a testament to you, your adult help and assistants and to the youth alike. I have not seen such a well-disciplined and focused group in over 25 years. You should be extremely proud of your and their accomplishment.”

The Rifle Course Bivouac included over eight hours of shooting, with the group expending over 6,900 rounds of .22 caliber ammunition and shooting 250 paper targets.

Those earning the Pro-Markmanship certification had to “shoot five bullets into ten bull’s-eyes, scoring a minimum of 20 points in each bull’s-eye, all from 50 feet away,” Mallory said. “The 16 cadets are authorized to wear the Pro-Marksmanship medal on their blues uniform.”

He added: “I cannot express enough how proud I am of all of our cadets and senior members that participated.”

Cadets get classroom instruction. Facing camera are, from left, C/SrA Courtney Pileski, C/CMSgt Joseph Maier, C/2d Lt Scott Wolff, C/Amn Cayleigh Brimhall.
