Reece Fullerton, 17
What’s the best thing
about Cadet shooting?
I love the precision of it.
How did you get into it?
I had to do shooting to
pass my Cadet One Star,
and I ended up winning
a trophy. I was hooked!
How did you do today?
First I shot a 98, but then
hit a 92. It was poor, but
it’s about teamwork, and
the team compensated
for my bad round.

Major Callum Fullerton, 17
What’s it like being in the
Cadets with your twin?
We get on well, so it’s fine.
Plus, I’m a rank above him,
so I can boss him about!
Who is the best shot?
He’s better than me on the
small-bore, while I prefer
the service rifle. But I got
a personal best today.
Did you enjoy today?
It was brilliant! We came
fifth last year so it’s great to
have improved so much.

Kate Newell, 16
What’s the key to being
a good shot?
Positive thinking is very
important. You’ve got to
believe you are going
to shoot well.
What’s it like coming
to Bisley?
It’s lovely around here,
I’ve never been to
England before! I’m
proud of what we’ve
done today – we’re going
home with a great cup.

How much have you
enjoyed yourself?
I’ve loved it. To win just
makes it even better. The
team spirit is great.
Do you want to keep up
your shooting?
I’d love to. I want to join
the Army when I’m old
enough, so I’ll carry on
shooting. I really enjoy
firing full-bore as well as
small-bore. The rifles are
bigger, and you have to
contend with the elements.
