724 Air Cadet Range
The Canadian Cadet Movement's Air Rifle is the Daisy / Avanti 853C .177 Caliber Target Air Rifle. This Daisy model was created specifically for the Canadian Cadet Movement.
Because of the low muzzle velocity, the Daisy 853C is not classified as a firearm under the current Federal Gun Legislation. Our training always teaches to a higher standard, so even though the 853c is not a firearm we treat it as such. Following all the safety rules and guidelines of safe firearm handling (safety equipment, glasses). A qualified Canadian Forces Range Safety Officer runs the range to a standard that is at least equal to the civilian standard, but in most cases exceeds it. Air rifle ranges can be set up virtually anywhere.
