Cadet Shooting (JCCF)
The association’s youth programme, run with the Jamaica Combined Cadet Force and shot through the Force’s battalion structure.
The Jamaica Rifle Association runs its youth shooting initiative in partnership with the Jamaica Combined Cadet Force, developing target shooting inside the Force’s battalion structure.
The partnership has put on competitive shoots of its own — the First Battalion Shoot among them — and brought the Second Battalion onto ranges across the island. The Second Battalion has taken consecutive victories in the Force’s Annual Shoot at the Jamaica Defence Force facility, and individual units within the Force have raised their marksmanship through the venture.
