History

The ranges at Connaught have been in operation for the better part of the last century serving the Canadian Forces. Through the 1970s and into the early 1990s, cadets on shooting courses attended various regional camps across the country including Pat Bay, Vernon, and Victoria, BC; Winnipeg, MB; Calgary, AB; Dundurn, SK amongst others.

In 1989 Connaught National Army Cadet Summer Training Center (Connaught NACSTC) was established to allow all marksmanship courses across Canada to amalgamated at Connaught. Prior to that time, cadets had been attending Connaught on advance to Bisley or as a jump off point for exchange cadets.

Since its inception, Connaught NACSTC has trained thousands of cadets,[1] including four that would become Commanding Officers.

In CRPTC, Remembrance Park, a cairn and artefacts are dedicated to Veterans and the men and women of the Canadian Forces.[2]

Marksmanship Courses

Basic Marksman Course

The aim of this three-week-long course is to provide cadets with the fundamentals of air rifle marksmanship, building upon what has been experienced at the Corps training level. This aim is accomplished through the development of skills and the provision of ample opportunities for practical skill applications. The course promotes the development of marksmanship competition, sportsmanship, and teamwork. By establishing a dynamic learning environment that exposes the cadets to a variety of air rifle marksmanship opportunities, this course works to inspire the cadets to further pursue Marksmanship opportunities at the Corps level as well as on the Air Rifle Marksmanship Instructors Course, or the Fullbore Marksman Phase I Course. The cadets that attend this Basic Marksman course are provided with the basic theoretical, technical, and practical skills required to assist in the delivery of the Corps marksmanship program.[3]

Air Rifle Marksmanship Instructor Course

This six-week course develops individual air rifle marksmanship skills as well as summer biathlon specialty skills while reinforcing and further developing leadership and instructional skills. These skills are necessary to help prepare cadet instructors. This will help them fulfill a support role in the air rifle and biathlon activities at the Corps level, during regionally directed activities and/or as a staff cadet at a CSTC. The cadet instructors are provided with the necessary theoretical, technical, and practical skills required to monitor and instruct other cadets during marksmanship training at the Corps, while building their own skill and knowledge to bring it back to their corps/squadron. Once the course is concluded the individual may assist the RSO (Range safety officer) along with eager cadets, to the best of the individuals ability.[3]

Fullbore Marksman Phase I Course

This unique six week course develops a specialist with the attitude, skills and subject matter knowledge required to participate in competitive fullbore marksmanship as an individual competitor. Cadets are provided with the necessary theoretical, technical, and practical skills required to participate as a largebore 5.56mm rifle competitor.[3]

Fullbore Marksman Phase II Course

Course cadets are provided with the necessary theoretical, technical, and practical skills required to participate as a largebore 7.62mm rifle competitor. Fullbore Phase II course cadets participate in the Canadian National Cadet Fullbore Championship, the Ontario Rifle Associations' Provincial Fullbore Championship and the Dominion of Canada Rifle Associations' National Fullbore Championship.[3]
