Aiming high with GB

Rob Smith and Tom Gordon will compete for the Athelings at a variety of venues across the North American country. The Athelings will be competing against the Canadian Army Cadets in a series of contests.

The Athelings are a selected team of target rifle shooters picked from the best cadets throughout Great Britain, and the two 18 year olds are the latest Islanders to represent the squad – a great honour and seen as stepping stone to further international representation.

The 18-strong Athelings team have prepared for the event in Bisley by competing in the Imperial meeting this month – the fourth Imperial meeting that the Jerseymen will have competed in.
