Naval Cadets from TS Sirius and five St George area Air Cadets
have undertaken rifle shooting training at the Anzac Rifle Range
in Sydney.
The instruction, which leant heavily towards the safe use of firearms,
was conducted by members of the Australian Naval Reserve Rifle
Club.
The commanding officer of Sirius, LCDR Phil Anderson, applauded
the club for providing the instruction.
“We had 30 cadets present and there was a staff member with
each one of them,” LCDR Anderson said.
“It was a great turnout.”
The rifle club had its origins in 1844 and was reformed in 1923.
During World War 2 its members trained new sailors in the use
of small arms.
The club shoots from noon every Saturday and invites new members
to join them.
Inquiries can be directed to 9349 4323.
