SHARPSHOOTERS — Tony Jones and Ed Morrison show their shooting style which won the two area cadets medals at a shoot in Bisley, England this summer. _At Bisley shoot Medals for area cadets In a time when Canadian flags droop tattered and unat- tended and most youths are reluctant to stand for the na- tional anthem, two cadets from Huron Park have ex- perienced the pride and honour of representing Canada against the best in the world Master Warrant Officer Ed Morrison and Warrant Of-. ficer Tony Jones were two of the 18 young Canadians who competed at the Com- monwealth Shooting Competi- tion in Bisley, England this summer. The local pair, both atten- ding South Huron District High School this fall,- were chosen in British Columbia last spring for their behaviour and attitude as well as for their shooting expertise. Before crossing the Atlantic the Canadian team had two weeks training in Ottawa at the end of June. Coming from all across Canada the 18 cadets had to accustom themselves to shooting as a team and living with each other for the next eight weeks. Jones noted that "we were like a big family, but it was hard staying together for eight weeks". In Ottawa Jones and Morrison won a pairs competition. The group of the best shooters in Canada really felt like a team after the issue of their formal suits and Bisley track suits in which they were to be seen it all times. The team stepped off their plane at Gatwick as am- bassaders of Canada. The Bisley Championships are steeped in tradition and prestige. For over 100 years they shot at Wimbledon before moving to the modern- day ranges. The three week competition is mainly civilian with a few, including Canada's cadets, army teams. "It was very tough competi- tion as we were shooting against the best shooters in the world," said Jones; however both he and Mor- rison shot well enough to bring home several medallions. The 1200 competitors shot in many tournaments trying to break the top 100. The scores were very high, the two area lads needing 96 percent 'to place in the top 110. • Hop in for a test drive. the 1984 Rabbits Are here!!! Better value than ever before!

The government paid for their trip and equipment. Shooting is a very expensive sport. The civilians who entered Bisley were "very posh but friendly". Jones was impress- ed with the class of his fellow competitors, "they go for prestige, shooting isn't a money sport" referring to the lack of big prize money. The cadets enjoyed two weeks travelling around England, Germany and France before returning to Ottawa for the Canadian championships. The Cana- dian team won, defeating the British cadets who had been victorious on . their home range. Both Morrison and Jones learned a great deal overseas. National pride and self- confidence were instilled. Jones said "I feel good inside when I say I'm representing my country." The shooting team was given special treatment everywhere. Speaking ex- uberantly about their treat- ment,'Jones said "they love us Canadians". However the formality and discipline became tiresome, especially after a day of con- centrated shooting. Morrison felt the greatest thing he learned was good manners and how to speak properly. Both would love to go again, but one can only be a member of the Bisley team once. They encourage young Canadians to join cadets as there are many free travelling opportunities. Ed Morrison and Tony GIIIINM4 POPIS WATCH OUT! FOR CHILDREN CROSSONG 1T5 BACK 70 SCHOOL. TIME Jones are the only cadets from this area to achieve shooting's ultimate competi- tion; however Jones' advice suits many goals in life: "If you want it bad enough, you can get it."
