This year the squadron is able to send 3 teams to competition. Teams are made up of 5 competitors with 2 of the 5 required to be Jr Competitors (15th birthday cannot be before the National Competition). With that we also take a spare/back up competitor for every team we field, since this year we have 3 teams we will have 3 spares/backups. This makes for a total of 18 cadets that will or will have the potential to compete in this year’s marksmanship zones, then maybe provincials and if we are really lucky national competitions.
