Queenbeyan Skill at Arms Training Workshop

The training day was the best training in which we have ever participated for Skill at Arms. We progressed quickly under the tutelage of Graeme Dowling and Des from the basics to being able to attempt the Skill at Arms course.

An innovative approach was to practice from the back of a utility and concentrate on the elements of the aim without having to control our “mount”.

Was Held on: Saturday 4th of April 209
