SECTION 7
MARKSMANSHIP TECHNIQUES – KNEELING POSITION
This section deals with all the marksmanship skills required for firing in the kneeling position. They can be divided into five principles as follows:
a. Position; b. Holding; c. Breathing; d. Aiming; and e. Trigger Control.
These principles must all function in harmony. Improving one of the five principles of marksmanship, while not working on another, will not provide very good results in the long run. Perfecting these principles takes time and concentration, cadets should remember – PRACTICE MAKES PERFECT! 7.1 THE KNEELING POSITION 7.1.1 General The kneeling position is a very stable position similar to the prone position, except achieving a comfortable position which is stable and minimizes movement is more difficult to achieve. The kneeling position is characterized by most firers as the least comfortable position and the most difficult to adopt correctly. Slight changes in the position can result in substantial instability, poor performance, and discomfort. Obtaining a good kneeling position takes practice and flexibility, and some discomfort may be experienced by cadets.
The kneeling position uses a sling and contacts the floor at three points:
1) the kneeling roll and foot combination; 2) the right knee; and 3) the left foot. A correctly adopted kneeling position, combined with
substantialpractice will result in stability and results similar to the prone position. 7.1.2 Rifle Rests An excellent way to practice marksmanship skills required by a cadet is to use a rifle rest such as an adjustable camera stand. This allows the cadet to perfect and to understand their marksmanship skills while the rifle is held steady. Once these skills are learned, the rifle rest should be removed.

7.1.3 Obtaining a Good Position The objective of a good position is to obtain a stable, balanced, uniform platform in the most efficient way possible, while allowing holding and aiming to be achieved with as little movement and muscular tension as possible.
The kneeling position should be: a. Natural; b. Without strain; c. Comfortable; d. Stable; e. Balanced in such a way that body weight is distributed between the main support points; and f. Consistent throughout the relay.
7.1.4 Kneeling Roll A kneeling roll is a piece of equipment that many firers find improve the stability and comfort of the kneeling position. The main function of the kneeling roll is to provide support under the right foot which the cadet sits upon. The kneeling roll is not always required especially with very flexible shooters. It is recommended cadets attempt the kneeling position using both a kneeling roll and then not using the kneeling roll to determine which method best suits the cadet’s body type. The kneeling roll can be made from various materials like canvas, cotton, or other flexible materials and filled with material which will allow for the roll to form to the cadet’s foot. Materials that may be used to fill the kneeling roll are dry beans, small plastic beads, wood chips, or other similar materials. The design of the kneeling roll should allow material to be added or removed as required. 7.1.5 Characteristics of a Good Position
The following guidelines should be adhered to when adopting the kneeling position: a. The body should face 30 to 60 degrees to the target, with the left leg pointed in the direction of the target;
30o to 60
o to target
40% of the weight is transferred through the bones of the left arm,
left leg and left foot
40% of the weight is transferred through the spine, buttocks, right
foot, and kneeling roll
20% of the weight is transferred through the
right knee
b. The kneeling roll should be placed at the same angle to the target as the right leg. The kneeling roll should be form fitted to the cadet’s foot during the preparation stage and before attempting to fine tune the position; c. The left foot and kneeling roll will form a straight line to the target;
1-7-2
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
d. The right knee is placed on the floor at 30 to 60 degrees to the body with the right foot sitting comfortably into the kneeling roll. Approximately 20 percent of the body weight is supported by the right knee; e. The right heel sits as close to the centre of the buttocks as possible. The right shoe tip sits comfortably on the floor. This combination supports a significant portion of the cadet’s weight and this weight is transferred down the spine, into the foot and finally into the kneeling roll. Approximately 40 percent of the body weight is supported by the kneeling roll and right foot; f. The sling is attached to the rifle and the left elbow sits firmly upon the left knee. The combination of the sling, left elbow and rifle form a load-bearing triangle similar to the prone position; g. The left hand should rest in the sling and firmly against the sling swivel. The fingers of the left hand should not grip the fore end of the stock. The hand should be relaxed and the rifle should rest in the palm of the hand; h. The placement and subtle position changes of the left foot regulate the natural alignment of the position. By altering the location, angle, and position of the left foot, changes in height and right/left direction can be achieved; i. The rifle is placed into the right shoulder and the upper body leans against the rifle which is held into position with the rifle sling; j. The left leg from the knee to the floor is at a 70 to 90 degree angle to the floor. The left foot is turned towards the right side of the body to improve stability of the left leg. Approximately 40 percent of the body weight is supported by the left leg; k. The shoulders should be straight and form right angles with the spine; l. The butt plate is kept firmly in the hollow of the right shoulder. In order to ensure that the butt plate is always placed in the same spot, cadets should grasp it with their thumb and forefinger and place it in their shoulder for each and every shot; m. The right arm should fall comfortably and naturally to the side of the body and the right hand should be placed upon the small of the butt. The right hand should be comfortable and under no strain. The trigger finger should not touch the stock. The position should allow the right hand, when placed on the small of the butt, to produce a straight back trigger pull; n. The head rests comfortably on the cheek piece and remains straight and level. There should be a minimal distance of approximately five (5) cm between the right eye and the rear sight (known as eye relief). This distance should remain constant throughout the relay. When the face is placed on the cheek piece, the cadet should be looking directly through the sights. If this is not the case, their position should be modified; and
1-7-3
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
o. To assist with firing in the kneeling position, cadets should use a chair or adjusting device to place their pellets, and equipment. The chair or adjusting device eliminates the requirement to move the position to reach for targets, pellets or other equipment during a course of fire. The chair or adjusting device can not provide any type of artificial support.
To ensure positive results, the aforementioned points should be repeated for each shot. The position and weight distribution of the left leg, right knee, right foot and kneeling roll must remain the same. The head must be levelled and exert the same amount of pressure on the cheek piece, the eye relief must remain constant and the right hand must always be in the same position. If any of these points do not feel right or if the cadet finds the position uncomfortable, the position should be adjusted until the condition is improved. 7.2 USE OF THE SLING
The sling acts to support most of the weight of the rifle and some of the upper body when in the kneeling position. The sling ensures minimal muscular effort on the part of the cadet when firing. 7.2.1 Assembling the Sling It is essential that the sling be assembled correctly in order to maintain a comfortable and stable position while firing in the kneeling position. The sling is made up of two (2) sections; a short section and a long section, with two (2) metallic clasps joining in the middle. Each clasp has three (3) slots. The shorter end of the sling will go around the arm while the longer end will go on the rifle via the sling swivel. The sling swivel acts as the handstop once the sling is attached to the rifle: To assemble the sling, follow the steps listed below:
a. Hold the sling parallel to the ground with the short section in the left hand, ensuring that the rounded tip of the top buckle is pointing left; b. Take the short section, loop it up through the middle slot of the metallic clasp and then back down through the front slot (nearest the rounded tip). The short section will now form a circle; and c. Turn the sling over and slide the sling swivel onto the long section. Ensure the sling swivel hangs downwards, as it will later attach to the rifle. Loop the long section up through the middle slot and then back down through the front slot. It is now important to take the remaining end and loop it back through the rear slot, locking the sling in place. This will ensure that the sling will not come undone or loosen during firing.
7.2.2 Position of the Sling on the Arm The slings should be positioned on the upper left arm above the bicep near the shoulder. This is the area on the arm where the smallest amount of pulse can be felt. It is held in place either by the rubber pad on the marksmanship jacket or by a strap or hook attached to the jacket. When not wearing a marksmanship jacket, a safety pin can be used to affix the sling to a sweater. The sling should never be twisted. In summary, the sling provides maximum support of the rifle with the least amount of physical effort on the part of the individual.
1-7-4
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.2.3 Adjustment of the Sling Swivel The sling is attached to the sling swivel which lies on the pump handle. The position of the sling swivel is adjustable using a flat-blade screwdriver. It acts as a rest for the cadet’s hand and its placement should be adjusted accordingly. To determine the position of the sling swivel, the following steps are recommended:
a. Loosen the sling swivel and slide it to the end of the rail; b. Have the cadet adopt the kneeling position without using the sling; c. Have the cadet aim the rifle down range while placing it securely in the shoulder; and d. The point on the fore-end of the stock where the cadet is gripping the stock should be the appropriate sling swivel position. Move the sling swivel to the hand position and tighten it in place using a flat-blade screwdriver.
This gives the cadet a good starting point. If any butt spaces are added on the rifle, the position of the sling swivel should be adjusted. 7.2.4 Adopting the Kneeling Position Using a Sling
Steps to adopting the kneeling position: a. Place the sling on the left arm; b. Adopt the kneeling position to the left of the rifle as described in paragraph 7.1.5; c. Pickup the rifle and attach the sling hook to the sling swivel while ensuring the rifle is pointed down range; d. Place the left elbow upon the left knee ensuring the rifle is pointed down range. Adjust the sling accordingly; e. Get into a comfortable position; f. Place the butt plate in the shoulder; g. Place the right hand in the small of the butt; h Let the right elbow fall to a natural position beside the body; i. Place the right cheek on top of the butt, and j. Adjust the butt plate length as appropriate.
7.2.5 Attachment of the Sling to the Rifle The sling should already be on the cadet’s arm for this step. The sling should be attached to the rifle using its hook. To attach the sling, the hook on the sling should be opened by pressing on its side screw. The hook pin should be slipped into the attachment clamp on the rifle’s sling swivel and the hook should be screwed over the pin to ensure it will not fall out.
1-7-5
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.2.6 Adjustment of the Sling If the sling is too loose it will no longer act as a method of support and the cadet will hold the rifle using their muscles. If the sling is too tight, blood flow will be restricted and cause a more pronounced pulse, which will have a negative effect on the cadet’s hold. Therefore, the sling must be comfortable on the arm, providing maximum support, while not clinching the arm. 7.3 AIMING 7.3.1 Front Sight
The front aperture should be selected to provide the best sight picture. A good sized aperture should appear 1-1/2 times bigger than the aiming mark. When firing in the kneeling position, most shooters find the aperture used in the prone position is used in the kneeling position. 7.3.2 Rear Sight The part of the rear sight that is looked through is the peep sight. It is a small disk about the size of a penny with a small hole in the middle. The rear sight has two (2) knobs that are used to move the point of impact of the shot. The adjustment of the knobs is measured in clicks that can be felt as the knob is turned. It takes (3) clicks to move the point of impact approximately one pellet width. At a distance of ten (10) metres, each click equals approximately a 1.219 mm shift of the point of impact.
a. Elevation To lower the point of impact, turn the elevation knob counterclockwise (to the left). To raise the point of impact, turn the elevation knob clockwise (to the right), as per the arrow and the word “UP” which is written on the elevation knob.
b. Windage
To move the point of impact to the left, turn the windage knob counterclockwise (to the left). To move the point of impact to the right, turn the windage knob clockwise (to the right), as per the arrow and the letter “R” which is written on the windage knob.
Remember: Sight Adjustment
UP & RIGHT = clockwise DOWN & LEFT = counterclockwise
1-7-6
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.3.3 Proper Head Position The head should be kept as close as possible to a position which allows the eyes to look straight forward from the eye sockets. It is acceptable for the head to tilt forward slightly, but cadets must resist allowing the head to tilt to the left or right as this affects their sense of balance. 7.3.4 Eye Relief Eye relief is the distance between the eye and the rear sight. Depending on the individual’s build and position, this distance is usually 5 to 15 cm.
This distance may have to be reduced slightly due to the size of the Daisy 853C air rifle. Cadets should strive to achieve a eye relief that is comfortable, natural, and allows them to see a circle of light around the front sight as they look through the rear sight.
It is important for them to maintain the same eye relief from shot to shot and to find an eye relief
that allows them to keep their head as erect as possible during the firing process. If they get closer than 5 cm from the sight, the line of white around the front sight becomes larger and more difficult to keep aligned. 7.3.5 Sight Alignment Sight alignment is the most critical element of the aiming process. Sight alignment is the alignment of the eye, the rear sight, and the front sight with the target. When cadets bring their eye 5 to 15 cm from the rear sight, they will find that the small hole is large enough to look through and see all of the front sight. This is what they see when they have achieved proper sight alignment.
1-7-7
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.3.6 Sight Picture To obtain a proper sight picture, simply align the target to the innermost ring. The goal during the aiming process is to maintain proper sight alignment while keeping the target centered in the front sight. The ultimate goal is to have all the circles in perfect alignment, but even Olympians can only reach this perfection and hold it for no more than a few seconds at a time when firing. Cadets must constantly strive to maintain proper sight alignment, while obtaining a sight picture. It is the most critical element of the aiming process. 7.3.7 Natural Alignment Natural alignment is obtained when the rifle can be perfectly aimed at the target without being muscled into achieving this. In a comfortable position, the cadet does not force the air rifle to point to the target, which would create muscular tension. Proper alignment will also prevent “drifting” of the group during a course of fire. After establishing a comfortable position, the cadet must now make sure their body and rifle are directly aligned with the target. In order to understand this notion of natural alignment it is important to remember that the rifle is supported by the bones of the body and not by the muscles. In order to ensure that the position is directly in line with the target, cadets should follow these steps:
a. Assume a proper kneeling position, look through the sights and acquire a proper sight picture; b. Close both eyes take several normal breaths and relax into a comfortable position; c. Once comfortable, look through the sights again. If perfectly centered with the target, proceed with firing; d. If not directly centered with the target, re-orient the position; and
e. Close their eyes and do a final check on their alignment. If not perfectly aligned, they must continue to adjust their position.
Again, it is essential that cadets use their bones to support the rifle, so that their muscles remain relaxed. Under no circumstances should they use their muscles to change the point of aim by moving the rifle from side to side. If they do a proper follow-through, the rifle will automatically return to the natural point of aim if they are not using muscular force. It is important that cadets check their alignment during their course of fire to ensure their position has not shifted. Note also, “warmed” muscles groups react differently from “cold” muscle groups. It is important to allow for a proper warm-up prior to firing. A brief warm-up exercise is described in Section 13.
1-7-8
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.3.8 Aiming Process After establishing their natural alignment, cadets are now ready to move along to the actual sequence of aiming. The aiming process is as follows:
a. Adopt a comfortable position; b. Make sure the alignment with the target is adequate; c. Verify the size of the front aperture; and d. Follow the procedures described in paragraphs 7.3.5 Sight Alignment and 7.3.6 Sight Picture.
During the first attempts to fire in the kneeling position, the rifle will move. This is normal for a beginner.
HOLD CONTROL SUPPORTED KNEELING POSITION (sling)
HOLD CONTROL UNSUPPORTED KNEELING POSITION (no sling)
7.4 BREATHING 7.4.1 Importance of Breathing Once a stable position is established, cadets must integrate the principles of breathing. While breathing, the oxygen inhaled is used to supply muscles with energy, ensuring optimal potential of these muscles. This includes the muscles that are involved in the position, as well as the muscles in the eyes. For maximum stability when firing, cadets will have to stop breathing for a few seconds. It is of the utmost importance that they do not hold their breath for more than seven (7) seconds, as the tension will increase in their chest muscles and reduce stability.
1-7-9
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.4.2 The Breathing Cycle In order to achieve a proper breathing sequence, the information in the following graph should be adhered to: Breathing should be relaxed and normal as cadets establish a sight picture. Then, they should inhale and exhale deeply, take another deep inhale, exhale normally, and completely release their chest muscles and hold their breath. After the shot, a small exhale is followed by normal breathing, and the cycle is repeated.
7.5 TRIGGER CONTROL 7.5.1 Controlling Trigger Pressure The following criteria should be followed when squeezing the trigger:
a. Position of the Hand on the Rifle. Cadets should have a relatively firm grip on the small of the butt with the bottom three (3) fingers of their hand. They should not strain their hand and they should make sure the pressure they apply is consistent for every shot. The thumb should point forward and rest in a relaxed position behind the rear sight along the rifle stock or should wrap around the small of the butt. b. Trigger Finger Position. The index finger should be placed on the trigger halfway between the tip of the finger and the first joint. The index finger never touches the stock of the rifle and must be vertically centered on the trigger.
1-7-10
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
c. Squeezing the Trigger. Trigger pressure should only be applied when the cadet is ready to fire. It must be applied straight to the rear by bending the second joint of the index finger. Cadets should make sure the pressure they apply is constant and that they slowly squeeze the trigger while they are holding their breath. The trigger of the Daisy 853C air rifle has one stage and its weight is not adjustable.
7.6 FOLLOW-THROUGH 7.6.1 General Follow-through is essential to firing perfect shots. It is defined as the act of remaining in position for a few seconds after the pellet’s departure and it requires both physical and mental effort. It aids in developing proper hold of the rifle, maintaining stability, ensuring that there is no movement of the rifle as the shot is being fired, and calling the shot after it is fired. If the position is stable, the aiming picture should return to the same place it was before the vibrations caused by the release of compressed air. If this sight picture differs from the initial sight picture, some improvements to the cadet’s position need to be done. 7.7 LOADING, FIRING AND UNLOADING 7.7.1 Pumping the Air Rifle The following guidelines should be adhered to when pumping the air rifle:
a. Do not pump the rifle more than once per shot. This air rifle is designed to withstand the pressure based upon a single pump stroke; b. If the air rifle is pumped more than once, or left with a full chamber pressure for an extended period (i.e., one hour), the compressed air may not expel completely upon firing. Consequently, the air rifle may have sufficient pressure remaining in the air pressure chamber to fire another pellet. Therefore, a proper unload drill must be done each time a session of firing is completed; and c. The cadet must pump the rifle before loading a pellet.
7.7.2 Loading the Air Rifle The following steps should be followed when loading the rifle (the rifle should always point toward the target):
a. Pick up and hold the rifle with the left hand; b. Ensure the safety catch is in the ON position; c. Pump the rifle. This can be done effectively in two (2) different ways as described in paragraph 7.7.5; d. When the pump handle is fully extended, pause for about three (3) seconds (this is very important; if done incorrectly, the rifle will have insufficient air pressure); e. Bring the pump lever back to the closed position (watch the fingers!); f. Load a pellet or a 5 pellet clip; and g. Close the bolt.
1-7-11
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
7.7.3 Firing the Air Rifle The following actions should be performed in order to fire the rifle (the rifle should always point at the target):
a. When the RSO gives the command, place the safety catch in the OFF position; b. Aim the rifle at the target; c. Squeeze the trigger; d. Open the bolt, pump the rifle, re-load, aim and fire; e. Repeat the last step until firing is completed; f. Upon completion, open the bolt, place the safety catch in the ON position and partially open the pump lever; and g. Lay the rifle down.
7.7.4 Unloading the Air Rifle These steps should be followed when unloading the rifle (the rifle should always point at the target):
a. Pick up the rifle; b. Remove the 5 pellet clip (if used); c. Pump the rifle (hold for three (3) seconds and close); d. Move the bolt forward (do not insert a pellet); e. Place the safety catch in the OFF position; f. Aim the rifle at the target; g. Squeeze the trigger; h. Open the bolt; i. Place the safety catch in the ON position; j. Open the pump lever slightly; k. Wait to be cleared by the RSO; and l. Lay the rifle down.

1-7-13
7.7.5 Pumping the Air Rifle There are two (2) effective ways of pumping the rifle. The first and preferred one can be done by the cadet while the second one requires assistance from a coach. Even though the individual method may seem difficult and complicated, it can be easily performed by any cadet.
To pump the rifle, the cadet should follow these steps:
a. Remove the butt from the shoulder and ensure a firm grip on the rifle; b. Partially open the pump lever with the right hand; c. Return the right hand to the small of the butt; d. Grasp the pump lever with the left hand, halfway up the lever; e. Lift the rifle upwards until the pump lever is fully extended (keep the left elbow in position on the left knee); f. Pause for three (3) seconds when the pump lever is fully extended; g. Bring the rifle down, thereby returning the pump lever to the closed position; h. Load the pellet or the 5 pellet clip; and i. Move the bolt forward.

SECTION 9
TARGET AND SCORING 9.1 TARGETS 9.1.1 General
Pellets will only be fired at penetrable or light reactive targets designed uniquely for use with air rifle pellets.
Penetrable or paper targets are to be mounted on a soft penetrable board, such as Bristol board or cardboard box material. Large head pins must not be used to secure targets as pellets may deflect off them or shatter the pinheads. Tape, elastics or light small head pins should be used to mount penetrable targets. Targets should be placed at the same level as the individual’s shoulder or head.
The distance from the forward edge of the firing point line to the target edge line will be ten (10) metres. No portion of the cadet’s body may touch the ground in front of the firing line.
9.1.2 Approved DND Targets The following are approved DND targets for air rifle use:
a. Paper penetrable grouping and scoring targets; b. Biathlon Canada approved reactive targets; c. Competition targets including paper penetrable targets or light reactive targets for us in competitions supported by the Canadian Cadet Movement, the Dominion of Canada Rifle Association (DCRA), the Shooting Federation of Canada (SFC) or their affiliates; and d. Light reactive targets such as falling plates, spinners or similar devices when approved by the Regional Marksmanship Officer.
9.2 SCORING 9.2.1 General The following points must be taken into account when scoring a target:
a. All shot holes are scored according to the highest value of the ring that is touched by the hole. If two (2) scoring rings are touched, the pellet must be scored at the higher value of the two (2) rings; b. Hits outside the scoring rings are scored as misses and are given a value of zero (0); and c. If the value of a shot is in dispute, the value is determined by means of a scoring template, magnifier or scoring plug.

9.2.2 Scoring Devices There are four types of scoring devices currently in use in the CCM:
a. Grouping Template; b. Scoring Magnifier; c. Scoring Plug; and d. Scoring Template.
Grouping Template (see Annex B). A grouping template is a series of grouping circles engraved or printed on transparent material. It is used to confirm the diameter of a grouping fired during familiarization or classification firing. The grouping template consists of two (2) parts:
(1) a series of grouping circle outlines, with diameters from one (1) cm to six (6) cm inclusive; and (2) an outline of an air rifle application target that may be superimposed over a grouping so that a score may be assessed;
It is very important to correctly and consistently measure grouping targets with the grouping template. When evaluating grouping targets, all five (5) shots must lay inside the grouping circle being evaluated. If the group touches the grouping circle, the next sized circle should be used until all five (5) shots lay inside the grouping circle.

A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
Scoring Magnifier. A scoring magnifier is a magnifying overlay that can be used for close viewing of a shot hole. This device does not affect the shot hole. The device has engraved ring(s) the diameter of a pellet which is placed over the pellet hole. The engraved ring is centered over the pellet hole, and the engraved ring is used to determine if the shot hole touches the scoring ring.
a. Shots which do not touch the scoring ring receive the lower value in score; b. Shots which touch or are tangent to the scoring ring receive the higher value in score; and c. Shots which break the scoring ring receive the higher value in score.
SCORING WITH SCORING GAUGES AND MAGNIFIERS Scoring Ring Shot does not
touch, scores c. Scoring Plug. A scoring plug is a device with a clear plastic flangewhich can be inserted into a shot hole, with the flange being used to magnify the area around the hole. This gauge will affect the pellet hole and consequently may only be used once in any shot hole. When a scoring plug is used on a shot hole, it should be marked as “PLUGGED”. Once a shot hole is scored using a scoring plug, it should not be subject to a scoring plug again.
If you can see even a faint black gap between the edge of the scoring gauge and the outside edge of the white scoring ring, the shot receives the lower score value. If you cannot see a gap or the gauge is tangent to (touches) the outside edge of the
scoring ring, the shot receives the higher score value.
lower value Shot is tangent to (touches) scoring ring,
scores higher value
Shot breaks scoring ring, scores higher value

CORRECT METHOD OF SCORING PLUGGED SHOTS
Light Source Light Source d. Scoring Template. A scoring template consists of transparent material engraved or printed with outlines of the pellet diameter and possible scoring rings. It is used to reconstruct the positions of the scoring ring and shot holes. It is used primarily in matches were multiple shots are fired on individual targets and the scoring rings can potentially be removed during the course of fire.
Correct Scoring with a scoring plug: 1) Place the target horizontally on a support; 2) Have the target well illuminated; 3) Look at the edge of the scoring plug from a slight angle; and 4) Use a magnifying glass when necessary.

SECTION 13
MARKSMANSHIP EQUIPMENT
13.1 GENERAL
Marksmanship equipment such as jackets, mats, hats, gloves, scopes and slings may be used during practice and competition. Corps and squadrons must ensure that they only use equipment and apparel that complies with the rules of the CCM Marksmanship Championship Series. Prior to the beginning of a competition, each competitor must submit all equipment and apparel to the equipment check for official inspection and approval.
13.2 MARKSMANSHIP APPAREL
13.2.1 General
Cadets performance can be easily improved by providing them with adequate apparel. This apparel will help to increase both stability and comfort.
It is not necessary to purchase equipment that is custom-made for marksmanship. Locally produced apparel is sometimes just as good as more expensive, specialized equipment. For example, it is possible to substitute a ski glove for a marksmanship glove, or to have marksmanship jackets produced by a tailor in the community.
13.2.2 Restrictions
The use of any special devices, means or garments that immobilize or unduly reduce the flexibility of the competitor’s legs, body or arms is prohibited. All clothing must be made of soft, flexible and pliable material that does not become stiffer, thicker or harder under normal firing conditions. Adhesives or the use of other materials on the clothing to assist the position are also prohibited.
Certain specifications apply to each type of marksmanship apparel. For exact specifications, see the CCM Marksmanship Championship Series Rule Book.
13.2.3 Marksmanship Jacket
A jacket offers some support and helps stabilize the body. Only jackets made of single layer cotton twill are permitted in cadet competitions. Rubber pads are attached to the elbows and to the right shoulder to soften contact with the ground and with the rifle. Another pad can be attached to the left arm in order to support the sling and lessen the pressure caused by it. The jacket must be large enough to permit the wearing of sweaters. The jacket also helps to reduce the pulse felt from the upper arm.
1-13-1
A-CR-CCP-177/PT-001
13.2.4 Marksmanship Glove
The marksmanship glove protects the back or interior of the hand against pressures created by the sling and the sling swivel. It can either be in the form of a glove or a mitt.
13.2.5 Marksmanship Hat
The marksmanship hat has flap sides and an elongated peak, which creates a tunnel vision and helps in avoiding neighbouring distractions.
13.2.6 Sweaters
It is of the utmost importance to wear at least one sweater under the marksmanship jacket. If possible, two (2) sweaters should be worn. These sweaters increase stability and absorb pulse beat. The marksman must be comfortable and his jacket must be big enough to permit the wearing of sweaters.
13.2.7 Sling
The only sling permitted for use in the CCM is the sling issued with the Daisy 853C. The sling helps to support the weight of the rifle, ensuring minimal muscular effort on the part of the marksman.
13.2.8 Blinder
A blinder is a vision blocking device, attached to the rifle sight or the competitor’s glasses, that is used to help prevent squinting and eye fatigue. The blinder should be translucent or white so that it allows light to pass through it.
13.2.9 Telescope
Telescopes are used so that the cadet or coach can view the target and make sight adjustments based on the fired shots. The scope must be mounted off the rifle and it must not act as an artificial support for the marksman.
13.2.10 Mats
Mats or ground sheets are used to aid the comfort of the cadets. However, they may not be used to provide an artificial support.

13.2.11 Table, Chairs or Adjustable Device Tables, chairs or adjustable devices are used in the standing and kneeling positions. These aids are used to ensure all equipment (scope, tools, inserts, etc), pellets and targets are close enough to the cadet so the position is not affected when requiring these items during a course of fire. The table, chair or adjustable device must not act as an artificial support for the cadet. 13.2.12 Kneeling Roll
A kneeling roll is placed under the right foot in the kneeling position. The kneeling roll is an optional piece of equipment and some cadets may find it improves comfort and stability in the kneeling position.

SECTION 16
TRAINING PLAN & MARKSMANSHIP DIARY
Achieving success is often a function of goal setting, establishing a plan and developing a method to evaluate the plan over time
16.1 GOALS Establishing goals is the beginning of a successful marksmanship training plan. Goals are the “road map” to where you want to go in the future. There are three types of goals:
a. Long Term Goals. Long term goals are the rewards you would like to realize in one or more years; b. Medium Term Goals. Medium term goals are the events you want to realize over one to twelve months; and c. Short Term Goals. Short term goals are very specific goals and objectives which are realized over a training period or training day. These goals are very specific and detailed. They occur every training session and assist you in realizing your medium term goals.
16.1.1 Establishing goals must be SMART. The term SMART refers to maximizing the potential of goals and ensuring they meet your needs. Goals should be:
a. Specific. Goals must be specific in what you wish to achieve; b. Measurable. Goals require a method of determining whether or not they have been achieved. Each goal requires a quantitative method to evaluate the success; c. Achievable. The goals need to be attainable in the set period of time.; d. Realistic. Goals have to be considered against what is possible. It is not realistic to establish a goal such as competing in the Olympics this year if you have never fired a rifle before; and e. Timed. When establishing your goals, consider the time in which you wish to achieve it successfully. Each goal needs a time limit to determine success.
16.2 TRAINING PLAN A training plan is a tool to help achieve your goals. By establishing a training plan, you will be able to set out a plan to achieve your long term, medium term, and short term goals.
A calendar is an easy way to record and view your training plan in an easy to view and user friendly format.

AIR RIFLE TRAINING AIDE-MÉMOIRE
GENERAL
The purpose of this aide-mémoire is to provide corps, squadrons and Cadet Summer Training Centres with a simple guide to essential marksmanship knowledge and skills. It has been formatted to be easily distributed in the form of handouts. The information found in this document is derived from the Air Rifle Training Manual, which should still be consulted for in-dept reference on any marksmanship subject.
This manual does not take precedence over any Cadet Administrative Training Order (CATO), Canadian Forces Technical Order (CFTO), Canadian Forces Administrative Order (CFAO), or any other Department of National Defence (DND) regulation or order.
When an item refers to a right-handed marksman, the reverse of that item refers to a left-handed marksman.
References to the directions left and right are described from the perspective of a marksman that is in the firing position.
Suggestions for improvements to this document are encouraged and may be submitted to the Staff Officer responsible for marksmanship within each Area/Region.
2-1
SAFETY
Firearms safety is the number one priority on and off the range so everyone must do their part to prevent accidents. In this sport, the majority of incidents are caused by the
ignorance of proper rifle operating procedures or by mishandling.
SAFETY CATCH
SAFETY CATCH ON = no red (safe)
OFF = red (ready)
SAFETY ROD
To ensure that air rifles are not removed from the firing point or stored with a pellet in the chamber or barrel, a safety rod is to be inserted in the barrel from the muzzle end.
DIAGRAM NOT TO SCALE
1/8" dowling 57 cm (22.46") in length
7.62 cm (3")in length
1 1/8" dowling
SAFE RIFLE STATUS
When not being handled on the range or in a training environment, the air rifle must be in a safe status. The following options denote various “safe rifle status”.
Option One In the rifle case
Safety catch is ON Bolt is forward Action is not cocked Safety rod is in the case Pump lever is partially open
Option Two On the firing line
Safety catch is ON Bolt is to the rear Pump lever is partially open
Option Three Not on the firing line
Safety catch is ON Bolt is to the rear Safety rod is in barrel Pump lever is partially open
2-2
REMOVING A RIFLE FROM THE CASE
The rifle case should be clearly marked on the outside with an arrow, indicating in what direction the rifle inside is pointing. This will ensure that when the case is opened, the rifle is pointing in a safe direction. The rifle must be in a safe status when removed from its case.
INDIVIDUAL SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Upon receiving a rifle or when the “safe rifle status” is uncertain, individual safety precautions should be done to confirm that the rifle is safe. An individual must ensure that:
a. The bolt is open fully to the rear;
b. The safety catch is in the ON position;
c. The pump lever is partially open; and
d. A safety rod is inserted in the barrel.
SAFETY REGULATIONS
Safety regulations are all common sense and are easy to apply when people understand why they are necessary to help prevent accidents.
The following is a list of essential safety regulations:
a. A rifle should always be treated as if it is loaded and be considered dangerous unless proven otherwise;
b. A rifle should never be pointed at anyone;
c. A rifle should always point in a safe direction;
d. A rifle should be held in the vertical position with the muzzle pointing up when transporting it;
e. Fingers should be kept off the trigger unless the marksman is ready to fire;
f. Hearing protectors should always be worn; and
g. The wearing of safety glasses or shatterproof eyeglasses is mandatory when firing.
DISPOSAL OF LEAD PELLETS AND PERSONAL HYGIENE
Each time someone handles pellets, a small trace of lead is left on their hands and can be transferred to other parts of their body or to food. Over a period of time, this contact could increase lead levels in the body. It is therefore recommended that hands be washed thoroughly following all contact with pellets.
Spent pellets are regarded as hazardous waste and must be disposed of in accordance with local regulations.
2-3
AIR RIFLE RANGES
The marksmanship CATO, specifically the annexes on Ranges and Security should be consulted for all the technical details relevant to this subject.
Air rifles may only be fired on a properly prepared air rifle range. The principal dangers found on an air rifle range are:
a. The ricochet of pellets after they strike a reflecting surface; and
b. Improper firearms handling.
It is the responsibility of the RSO to ensure that the range is safe and meets all range requirements. It is essential that no part of the pellet stop area may cause a pellet to ricochet.
ITEMS REQUIRED TO SET UP AN AIR RIFLE RANGE
a. Area 15 metres long with controlled access;
b. Numbered target backstops and firing lanes;
c. Flags (red and green);
d. First aid kit and stretcher;
e. Appropriate mats;
f. Spotting scopes;
g. Hearing protectors;
h. Safety glasses;
i. Targets;
j. Pellets; and
k. Hand washing facility.
RANGE MAINTENANCE
The range must be cleaned after each use and the lead disposed of as contaminated waste. The pellet stop must be inspected regularly to ensure that deterioration has not occurred.
2-4
THE DAISY 853C AIR RIFLE AND PELLETS

a. Action – single pump pneumatic, straight pull-bolt;
b. Length – 97.8 cm;
c. Weight – 2.5 kg;
d. Calibre – 0.177” calibre (4.5 mm);
e. Front sight – Global type with interchangeable aperture inserts;

i. Stock – Full-length, sporter-styled hardwood with adjustable length.
PARTS
AIR RIFLE PELLETS
The most popular pellet design is the hourglass-shaped air rifle pellet, commonly referred to as the diabolo. There are a number of variations on the basic diabolo design. For marksmanship and competition training, the wadcutter pellet is used. This flatheaded pellet is designed for cutting neat, clean holes in paper, which allows for accurate, precise scoring of the target.
2-5
PROPER EYE USAGE
The master eye must be determined before individuals begin firing. It should be noted that the master eye is not always on the same side of the body as the writing hand.
SELECTING THE MASTER EYE
Everyone has a master (or dominant) eye which is stronger than the other one. This is the eye to be used when aiming. If the master eye is on the opposite side of the body than the writing hand, it is advisable to change shoulders and fire with the opposite hand and use the master eye. This should not however, be done at the expense of comfort.
NOTE
If changing shoulders in order to accommodate the master eye proves uncomfortable, cadets should fire the way they feel most comfortable.
To determine the master eye, the steps listed below should be followed:
a. Select a small object (i.e., the corner of a wall) at least five metres away;
b. Face the object and extend both arms in front of the body towards the object;
c. With both eyes open, form a small, tight opening around the object with the thumbs and index fingers;
d. Look at the object through the opening with both eyes open and draw both hands back toward the face. Ensure that the object remains centred through the opening of the thumbs and index fingers; and
e. The person should now be looking through the opening at the object with one single eye – the stronger of the two. This is the master eye that should always be used for aiming.
FIRING WITH BOTH EYES OPEN
Cadets should always fire with both eyes open. Eyes are constantly working together. If cadets have difficulty focusing, the use of a blinder in front of the non-aiming eye will help prevent squinting and eye fatigue.
Cutting a piece of plastic from a windshield washer fluid jug or any other similar type of container can easily make a blinder. A good blinder should be translucent (plastic or paper) so that images are blocked even though light can penetrate it. It should be easily attachable to the rear sight or to the cadet’s glasses.
2-6
PRONE POSITION
Obtaining a good prone position is one of the most, if not the most important principle of marksmanship. Although an excellent position will not guarantee an excellent performance, a poor position can almost
assure a substantially negative effect on results.
OBJECTIVES OF A GOOD POSITION
The position should be:
a. Natural;
b. Without strain;
c. Comfortable;
d. Stable;
e. As such that body weight is equally distributed; and
f. Consistent throughout the relay.
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD POSITION
a. The body should form a 5-20° angle to the line of sight;
b. The body should not be twisted and the spine should be straight;
c. The left leg should be parallel with the spine;
d. The right foot should turn out and point to the right; the left foot should be straight behind on the toe or pointed to the right according to the comfort of the individual;
e. The right knee should be brought up so that the thigh forms an angle between 30-45° with the left leg. The right knee should be bent in order to improve stability;
2-7
f. The left elbow should be positioned slightly to the left of the rifle. In order to maintain consistency throughout the relay, the left elbow should not be moved, even while pumping the rifle;
g. The left forearm should form at least an angle of 30° with the ground;
h. The left hand should rest in the sling and firmly against the sling swivel and the fingers should not grip the fore end of the stock;
i. Once a good position is established, the right hand should grip the small of the butt with constant pressure;
j. The right thumb should be placed on the stock directly behind the rear sight;
k. The position of the right elbow is established after the rest of the body is in place. After placing the right hand on the small of the butt, the right elbow should rest naturally where it falls and feels comfortable;
l. The shoulders should be straight and form right angles with the spine;
m. The butt plate is kept firmly in the hollow of the right shoulder; and
n. The head rests comfortably on the butt and remains straight.
2-8
STANDING POSITION
The standing position has the smallest area of support of all firing positions, thus it is the most difficult to hold steady. Cadets must come to grips with the fact that when firing in
the standing position, they may never achieve complete immobility.
The standing position should be: natural, without strain, comfortable, stable, balanced in such a way that body weight is equally distributed, and consistent throughout the relay.
CENTRE OF GRAVITY
The centre of gravity is the point where the weight of the rifle and the cadet’s body weight are evenly distributed between the feet. In order to compensate for the weight of the rifle, the cadet’s back is bent to the right and rearward in order to gain bone support and stability.
If the cadet stands straight, the weight of the rifle will pull the body to the front. Muscle strain will appear in the back as the cadet attempts to keep their body from falling forward. By bending back and to the right, a shift in body weight will occur slightly towards the right foot. At a certain point, the weight of the body on the right foot will equal the weight on the left foot. The body-rifle combination then reaches a state of balance, with the centre of gravity located between the cadet’s two feet.
The combination of back bend and body twist is the most important feature of the standing position and will contribute significantly to the cadet’s level of performance. However, cadets should understand that discomfort is common during the first few practice sessions. After a short period of time, however, this discomfort will diminish and an increasingly stable hold will be achieved.
2-9
CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD POSITION
a. The body should face to the right, approximately 90 degrees to the target;
b. The feet should be shoulder width apart and cadets should try to stand on the firmest surface possible;
c. The feet should point straight ahead or could be turned slightly outward for comfort;
d. The legs should be straight but not locked;
e. The hips should be 90 degrees to the target and should not thrust forward;
f. The left arm should rest against the rib cage. The left elbow should almost be directly under the rifle. Muscles should not be used to support the left arm;
g. The left hand is used to support the rifle and should be positioned just forward of the trigger guard. There are several ways of holding the rifle, such as:
Clenched fist V Shape Split fingers Heel of the hand
h. The right hand should be comfortable and the right arm should drop naturally to the side;
i. The head should be in an upright position with your eyes looking forward through the rear sight. To prevent involuntary body sway as a result of the balance mechanism in the inner ear, the head should remain straight and upright. The stock should rest high in the shoulder pocket bringing the sights up to eye level to keep from tipping the head forward to aim; and
j. Eye relief distance should be between 5-15 cm and should usually be slightly greater than in the prone position.
2-10
KNEELING POSITION
The kneeling position is the least comfortable of all the positions and requires substantial practice in order to master. Once the kneeling position is refined, scores and performances
can match those of the prone position.
The kneeling position is a very stable position similar to the prone position, except achieving a comfortable position which is stable and minimizes movement is more difficult to achieve. The kneeling position is characterized by most firers as the least comfortable position and the most difficult to adopt correctly. The kneeling position uses a rifle sling and contacts the floor at three points; the kneeling roll and foot combination, the right knee and the left foot. A correctly adopted kneeling position, combined with practice will result in stability and results similar to the prone position.
A kneeling roll is a piece of equipment that many firers find improve the stability and comfort of the kneeling position. The main function of the kneeling roll is to provide support under the right foot. The kneeling roll is not always required especially with very flexible cadets.
The kneeling roll can be made from various materials like canvas, cotton, or other flexible materials and filled with material. Materials used to fill the kneeling roll can be dry beans, small plastic beads, wood chips, or other similar materials. CHARACTERISTICS OF A GOOD POSITION
a. The body should face 30 to 60 degrees to the target, with the left leg pointed in the direction of the target; b. The kneeling roll should be placed at the same angle to the target as the right leg. The kneeling roll should be form fitted to the shooters foot during the preparation stage; c. The left foot and kneeling roll will form a straight line to the target; d. The right knee is place on the floor 30 to 60 degrees to the body with the right foot sitting comfortably into the kneeling roll. Approximately 20 percent of the body weight is supported by the right knee;
40% of the weight is transferred through the bones of the left arm,
left leg and left foot
20% of the weight is transferred through the
right knee
30o to 60
o to target
40% of the weight is transferred through the spine, buttocks, right
foot, and kneeling roll
e. The right heel sits as close to the centre of the buttocks as possible. The right shoe tip sits comfortably on the floor. This combination supports a significant portion of the cadet’s weight and this weight is transferred down the spine, into the foot and finally into the kneeling roll. Approximately 40 percent of the body weight is supported by the kneeling roll and right foot;
2-11
f. The sling is attached to the rifle and the left elbow sits firmly upon the left knee. The combination of the sling, left elbow and rifle form a load-bearing triangle; g. The left hand rests in the sling and firmly against the sling swivel. The fingers of the left hand should not grip the fore end of the stock. The hand should be relaxed and the rifle should rest in the palm of the hand; h. The placement and subtle position changes of the left foot regulate the natural alignment of the position. Altering the location, angle, and position of the left foot, changes in height and right/left direction can be achieved; i. The rifle is placed into the right shoulder and the upper body leans against the rifle, which is held into position with the rifle sling; j. The left leg from the knee to the floor is at a 70 to 90 degree angle to the floor. The left foot is turned towards the right side of the body to improve stability of the left leg. Approximately 40 percent of the body weight is supported by the left leg; k. The shoulders should be straight and form right angles with the spine; l. The butt plate is kept firmly in the hollow of the right shoulder; m. The head rests comfortably on the cheek piece and remains straight and level. The eye relief should be 5 to 15 cm. This distance should remain constant throughout the relay. When the face is placed on the cheek piece, the cadet should be looking directly through the sights; and n. The right arm should fall comfortably and naturally to the side of the body and the right hand should be placed upon the small of the butt. The right hand should be comfortable and under no strain. The trigger finger should not touch the stock. The position should allow the right hand, when placed on the small of the butt, to produce a straight back trigger pull.
The position and weight distribution of the left leg, right knee, right foot and kneeling roll must remain the same. The head must be levelled and exert the same amount of pressure on the cheek piece, the eye relief must remain constant and the right hand must always be in the same position. If any of these points do not feel right or if the cadet finds the position uncomfortable, the position should be adjusted until the condition is improved.
2-12
AIMING
Cadets must constantly strive to maintain proper sight alignment, while obtaining a sight picture. It is the most critical element of the aiming process.
FRONT SIGHT
The front aperture should be selected to provide the best sight picture. A good sized aperture should appear 1 ½ times bigger than the aiming mark.
REAR SIGHT
The adjustment of the knobs is measured in clicks that can be felt as the knob is turned. It takes three clicks to move the point of impact approximately one pellet width.
a. Elevation. To lower the point of impact, turn the elevation knob counterclockwise (to the left). To raise the point of impact, turn the elevation knob clockwise (to the right), as per the arrow and the word “UP”.
REMEMBER: SIGHT ADJUSTMENT
UP & RIGHT = clockwise DOWN & LEFT = counterclockwise b. Windage. To move the point of impact to the left,
turn the windage knob counterclockwise (to the left). To move the point of impact to the right, turn the windage knob clockwise (to the right), as per the arrow and the letter “R”.
EYE RELIEF
Eye relief is the distance between the eye and the rear sight. Depending on an individual’s build and position, this distance is usually 5 to 15 cm. It is important for them to maintain the same eye relief from shot to shot and to find an eye relief that allows them to keep their head as erect as possible during the firing process.

TARGETAPERTURE
SIGHT ALIGNMENT
Sight alignment is the most critical element of the aiming process. It is the alignment of the eye, the rear sight, and the front sight.
Proper sight alignment is a matter of centering the front sight hood in the rear sight. The hood will not quite fill the rear sight and cadets will be able to see light around the outside of the hood; we call this a “line of white.”
SIGHT PICTURE
To obtain a proper sight picture, a bullseye is simply added to the innermost ring. The goal during the aiming process is to maintain proper sight alignment while keeping the bull centered in the front sight.
2-13
NATURAL ALIGNMENT
It is essential that cadets use their bones to support the rifle, so that their muscles remain relaxed. Under no circumstances should they use their muscles to change the point of aim
by moving the rifle from side to side.
Natural alignment is obtained when the rifle can be perfectly aimed at the target without being muscled into achieving this. In a comfortable position, the cadet does not force the air rifle to point to the target, which would create muscular tension.
After establishing a comfortable position, the cadet must now make sure that their body and rifle are directly aligned with the target. In order to ensure that the position is directly in line with the target, cadets should follow these steps:
a. Assume the prone position, look through the sights and acquire a proper sight picture;
b. Close their eyes, take several normal breaths and relax into a comfortable position;
c. Once comfortable, look through the sights again. If they are perfectly centred with the target, proceed with firing;
d. If they are not directly centred with the target, they will need to re-orient their position slightly. To do this, they will need to pivot their body on their left elbow, more precisely:
(1) If they are aiming too far to the left, move the lower body slightly to the left;
(2) If they are aiming too far to the right, move the lower body slightly to the right;
(3) If they are aiming too low, move the lower body slightly back (if this does not work, they can tighten the sling); and
(4) If they are aiming too high, move the lower body slightly forward (if this does not work, they can loosen the sling); and
e. Close their eyes and do a final check on their alignment. If they are still not perfectly aligned, they must start over! They must remember to never move their left elbow when they shift their position around.
2-14
BREATHING
Cadets should use breathing as a way to confirm that the rifle is moving up and down in a perfect vertical manner and that the rifle is not canted. Also, when breathing in and out,
cadets can visually confirm that they are aiming on the proper diagram.
IMPORTANCE OF BREATHING
While breathing, the oxygen inhaled is used to supply muscles with energy, ensuring optimal potential of these muscles. This includes the muscles that are involved in the position, as well as the muscles in the eyes. For maximum stability when firing, cadets will have to stop breathing for a few seconds. It is of the utmost importance that they do not hold their breath for more than five to seven seconds, as the tension will increase in their chest muscles and reduce stability.
THE BREATHING CYCLE
In order to achieve a proper breathing sequence, the information in the following graph should be adhered to:

2-15
TRIGGER CONTROL AND FOLLOW-THROUGH
Trigger control is the manipulation of the trigger in such a way that there is no disturbance or motion of the foresight. It must be constant, controlled, slow and deliberate. Consistent
squeezing of the trigger assures the desired trajectory upon the departure of the pellet.
POSITION OF THE HAND ON THE RIFLE
Cadets should have a relatively firm grip on the small of the butt with the bottom three fingers of their hand. The thumb should point forward and rest in a relaxed position behind the rear sight along the rifle stock or should be wrapped around the small of the butt.
TRIGGER FINGER POSITION
The index finger should be placed on the trigger halfway between the tip of the finger and the first joint. The index finger never touches the stock of the rifle and must be vertically centered on the trigger.
SQUEEZING THE TRIGGER
Trigger pressure should only be applied when the cadet is ready to fire. It must be applied straight to the rear by bending the second joint of the index finger. Cadets should make sure the pressure they apply is constant and that they slowly squeeze the trigger while they are holding their breath.
FOLLOW-THROUGH
Follow-through is defined as the act of remaining in position for a few seconds after the pellet’s departure and it requires both physical and mental effort. It aids in developing proper hold of the rifle, maintaining stability, ensuring that there is no movement of the rifle as the shot is being fired, and calling the shot after it is fired.
When done properly, it permits the cadet to call their shot with extreme accuracy and ensures consistency during the firing session. This becomes particularly important when trying to improve performance or correct faults. If the position is stable, the aiming picture should return to the same place it was before the vibrations caused by the release of compressed air.
2-16
USE OF THE SLING
The sling provides maximum support of the rifle with the least amount of physical effort on the part of the individual.
ASSEMBLING THE SLING
To assemble the sling, follow the steps listed below:
a. Hold the sling parallel to the ground with the short section in the left hand, ensuring that the rounded tip of the top buckle is pointing left;
b. Take the short section, loop it up through the middle slot of the metallic clasp and then back down through the front slot (nearest the rounded tip). The short section will now form a circle; and
c. Turn the sling over and slide the sling swivel onto the long section. Ensure the sling swivel hangs downwards, as it will later attach to the rifle. Loop the long section up through the middle slot and then back down through the front slot. It is now important to take the remaining end and loop it back through the rear slot, locking the sling in place. This will ensure that the sling will not come undone or loosen during firing.
POSITION OF THE SLING ON THE ARM
The sling should be positioned on the upper left arm above the biceps near the shoulder. This is the area on the arm where the smallest amount of pulse can be felt. The sling should never be twisted.
ATTACHMENT OF THE SLING TO THE RIFLE
The sling should be attached to the rifle using its hook. To attach the sling, the hook on the sling should be opened by pressing on its side screw. The hook pin should be slipped into the attachment clamp on the rifle’s sling swivel and the hook should be screwed over the pin to ensure it will not fall out.
ADJUSTMENT OF THE SLING
If the sling is too loose it will no longer act as a method of support and the cadet will hold the rifle using their muscles. If the sling is too tight, blood flow will be restricted and cause a more pronounced pulse, which will have a negative effect on the cadet’s hold.
2-17
LOADING, FIRING AND UNLOADING THE AIR RIFLE
These steps should be adhered to in order to safely fire the Daisy 853C air rifle.
LOADING THE AIR RIFLE

2-22
MARKSMANSHIP EQUIPMENT
Cadets performance can be easily improved by providing them with adequate apparel. This apparel will help to increase both stability and comfort.
MARKSMANSHIP JACKET
A jacket offers some support and helps stabilize the body. Rubber pads are attached to the elbows and to the right shoulder to soften contact with the ground and with the rifle. The jacket must be large enough to permit the wearing of sweaters.
MARKSMANSHIP GLOVE
The marksmanship glove protects the back or interior of the hand against pressures created by the sling and the sling swivel.
MARKSMANSHIP HAT
The marksmanship hat has flap sides and an elongated peak, which creates a tunnel vision and helps in avoiding neighbouring distractions.
SWEATERS
It is of the utmost importance to wear at least one sweater under the marksmanship jacket. If possible, two sweaters should be worn. These sweaters increase stability and absorb pulse beat.
TELESCOPE
Telescopes are used so that the cadet or coach can view the target and make sight adjustments based on the fired shots.
MATS
Mats or ground sheets are used to aid the comfort of the cadets. However, they may not be used to provide an artificial support.
2-23
Table, Chairs or Adjustable Device Tables, chairs or adjustable devices are used in the standing and kneeling positions. These aids are used to ensure all equipment (scope, tools, inserts, etc), pellets and targets are close enough to the cadet so the position is not affected when requiring these items during a course of fire. The table, chair or adjustable device must not act as an artificial support for the cadet. Kneeling Roll
A kneeling roll is placed under the right foot in the kneeling position. The kneeling roll is an optional piece of equipment and some cadets may find it improves comfort and stability in the kneeling position.
2-24
PHYSICAL TRAINING
Physical training improves and develops the strength and endurance required to hold the rifle steady for long periods of time without fatigue.
WARM-UP EXERCISES TO BE DONE BEFORE STATIC STRETCHING
Each exercise should last about 20-30 seconds and it is important not to bounce or jerk when doing them.
Neck Shoulders Trunk
STATIC STRETCHING EXERCISES
Head and neck Shoulders, arms and wrists
Back
Before a competition or practice, a warm-up exercise is recommended in order to get the blood flowing and the muscles tuned.
Stretching exercises can
help the individual’s flexibility and level of comfort during
the firing
session.
2-25
COACHING
DUTIES OF A COACH
The role of a coach is to aid, assist, teach and help improve a cadet’s performance. A good coach is able to recognise and improve imperfections in position, holding and firing. The following are tasks commonly performed by coaches:
a. Providing positive reinforcement;
b. Instilling self-confidence;
c. Correcting marksmanship principles and techniques;
d. Correcting position problems;
e. Maintaining a coaching diary; and
f. Analyzing targets.
ANALYSIS OF COMMON ERRORS
Anticipation of recoil Jerking the trigger Squeezing the trigger at an angle Improper usage of the sling
Improper position of the buttplate Variance in breathing Variance in eye relief
Sling slipping Left hand moving forward
Anticipation of recoil
No follow-through or anticipation

PART 4
MARKSMANSHIP CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
Air rifle marksmanship is one of the most popular and appealing aspects of tri-service cadet training. Many of our cadet corps/squadrons have long reaped the benefits of competitive marksmanship programs at the local, provincial/territorial and national levels, but now all cadets have the same opportunity to compete on an equally funded basis in a national marksmanship championship series. We encourage those of you who are participating in other air rifle marksmanship competitions sponsored by the Cadet Leagues and rifle associations and federations to continue to do so. For those of you who have not had the chance to participate in a marksmanship competition, we want to welcome you to the sport and encourage you to take advantage of the many benefits that competitive cadet marksmanship has to offer.
As seasoned competitors and coaches will attest, competitive marksmanship offers nothing but the best to cadets. An unparalleled sense of achievement is gained as a cadet strives towards excellence in a sport that allows all competitors to compete on an equal basis. Self-confidence, acceptance of responsibility, and sports etiquette are just some of the life skills acquired from the training. A healthy respect for firearms, the development of proficient use of rifles for sport and recreational purposes, and an improvement in self-discipline are additional benefits.
Regardless of your level of experience, you will find this booklet to be quite user-friendly. Simple and straightforward concepts, clearly defined terms and easily understood rules are detailed in the following pages. If you are one of the many corps/squadron Commanding Officers (CO) who has hesitated to involve your unit in a marksmanship competition, the time to start is now. Competitive marksmanship offers a unique opportunity to expose your cadets to an exciting challenge.
Perhaps the most significant element in this Championship Series is the conduct of Zone Competitions during Stage 2. These one-day competitions between cadet corps and squadrons in the same geographical area create a positive learning environment within a friendly atmosphere.
Remember, there is limited cost to you at the unit level. Rifles and pellets, portable ranges, targets, and travel to provincial/territorial and national competitions are all funded by the Canadian Forces. With a little time and effort it could be one of your cadets on the podium at the National Championship or even at the Olympics!

10.3 Firing point
The firing point must be clearly identified and the firing lanes are to be equally divided and marked off; the use of a firing box being the preferred option. The size of the firing box should not be less than 1.25 m wide and 2.5 m long. The firing point must be constructed so that it does not vibrate or move when other persons are walking close by. It must either be level or may slope to the rear.
Page 4-22: [58] Deleted Westlake 2004-09-03 09:14:00 AM
The firing distance must be as exact as possible, subject to

Page 4-22: [60] Deleted Marc Brazeau 2003-05-28 13:48:00 PM
10.6 Firing Lanes
The area between the firing point and target line is divided into firing lanes that correspond to the firing position. These lanes should be clearly marked and normally not less than 1.25 m wide.
