==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.<ref name="cadets1">{{cite web |url=http://cadets.ca/cstc/connaught/History/ |title=History |publisher=Cadets.ca |date=2012-08-25 |accessdate=2013-03-06 |archive-url=https://archive.today/20130410025920/http://cadets.ca/cstc/connaught/History/ |archive-date=April 10, 2013 |url-status=dead }}</ref>
