Robert Stanley (17) from Beccles
Army Cadets is the Best Shot in the Eastern Region thanks to some sharp eyed
shooting at the Army Cadets Regional shooting competition held at
Beckingham, Lincolnshire.
With over 130 hot shots taking part from all other the eastern region
including Nottinghamshire, Essex, Hertfordshire, Derbyshire, Cambridgeshire,
Robert won overall best shot by two points and was presented the trophy by
the Brigade Commander.
He had to shoot at various targets from 100 meters to 400 meters using the
Army Cadets L98 Rifle.
Robert, who attends Langley School, is also in the Combined Cadet Force and
is a key member of the Beccles Shooting Club.
He is hoping to join the Regular Army as an Officer.
He said after winning the best shot: ‘This is tremendous. I really enjoy
target shooting. It is my main sport and to know that I have beat some
excellent shots is great. Since joining the Army Cadet Force I have won the
lots of shooting medals including the best shot in Suffolk whilst in Germany
and now I am the best in the region.’ Laughing, he then said: ‘Next it’s the
best in England! I have to thank Sergeant Majors
Mark Galley and Alan Barnard
for all their help and coaching and the Army Cadet Force to allow me the
chance to do what I like and what I love doing.’ |
