The 2024 Inter Service Cadet Rifle Meeting (ISCRM) again proved very successful for the RAF Air Cadets, with air cadets taking home 10 out of 14 of the cadet trophies, and also winning the adult competition.
The ISCRM is a national target shooting competition for units of the Sea Cadet Corps, Volunteer Cadet Corps, Army Cadet Force and RAF Air Cadets held at the National Rifle Association ranges at Bisley, Surrey every July.
Special mention should go to Cpl Farrow (30F (City of Llandaff) Sqn) who won the Bossom Trophy for the top overall individual at the meeting, and 30F (City of Llandaff) Sqn who were the Champion unit. The RAF Air Cadets also achieved victory in the Inter-Cadet Force Final, with the RAF Air Cadets A team winning and the RAF Air Cadets B team finishing second.
Other notable achievements included Trent Wing winning the inaugural competition for a team coached by a cadet throughout the meeting, and South & West Yorkshire Wing achieving their first “Cadet 100” badges in 20 years. Overall, the RAF Air Cadets won 43 of the 75 “Cadet 100” badges awarded (reduced from 100 due to the number of teams competing. There were 37 Teams from the RAF Air Cadets, competing against 17 from the Army Cadet Force, and 19 from the Sea Cadet Corps.
