Great website! I especially like the story about what you did for the 200th Red Horse Flight. I saw some of their previous work while in the Middle East last year.

With all the poor information sent on the internet this publication is one that I
open first. This is information I like to read and enjoy. Keep up the good work.
As an added section or article you might want to include something like a short
article on the M1 or 1903 or A3. thanks
Paul
I look forward to every issue of "First Shot" Keep them
coming!

Great publication! I always look forward to receiving
it. Is like a breath of range time when stuck behind the desk at
work.

I certainly applaud the CMP staff for sending packages to our folks in Iraq. I just sent a goodies and pogy bait package to the 1st Bn 9th Infantry. All of you are to be congratulated for your hard work, patriotism, and concern for our GIs. Well done. (Oh - and the M1903, MK I Springfield arrived only two weeks after I mailed in the order and it is a keeper! Thanks for that too!)

coming ! Can't be more pleased to see this on the internet.

Being a Basic-trainer from The Netherlands I was searching the internet for shooting information (especially about training juniors) and I came across your site. With much interest I have read several articles. Especially the ones that give advice on "How to..." are very good, because in The Netherlands very little is known about training juniors aprox. 10 to 16 years of age.
For example, I have shown the pattern "how to make a kneeling roll" to my athletes and several are now using them.
I hope you will continue this fine series of articles!
With kind regards,
Albert B. T.

Soldiers Armywide invited to compete in US Army Small Arms Championships

FORT BENNING, Ga. - The U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit will host the All-Army Small Arms Championships in conjunction with the U.S. Army Infantry Center March 12 to 24.
Soldiers and units will compete with the M-16 rifle or M-4 carbine, M-9 pistol and M-24 or M-14 rifles against counterparts from the regular Army, Reserve, National Guard and Cadet Command. The USAMU has a limited number of weapons available for Soldiers and cadets who do not have assigned weapons.
"The advanced shooting experience gained in these challenging matches will translate into better trained and confident Soldiers, ready to meet the challenges of the global war on terrorism," said USAMU Commander Lt. Col. David J. Liwanag. "These championships are the pinnacle of in-service Army competitive marksmanship training."
Soldiers who excel in the All-Army Championships may be selected to compete on the Army, Army Reserve or National Guard Rifle and Pistol Teams in the Interservice and National Championship competitions. Winners of designated matches and classifications may be awarded Secretary of the Army Trophy rifles.
Rifle matches will be shot at ranges from 200 to 500 yards. Pistol matches will be fired under combat time standards at seven to 25 yards. All firing will be done with helmet and individual combat gear (minus body armor and mask). Long-range matches will be fired at ranges of 600 to 1,000 yards.
Matches are open to all Soldiers worldwide of any military occupational specialty, and U.S. Military Academy and ROTC Cadets. Squad-size teams will be from brigades, divisions, major commands, each individual state and territory and Army Reserve major subordinate commands.
For more information on the All-Army Small Arms Championships contact Michael J. Behnke, USAMU chief of competitions, at (706) 545-7841 (DSN 835-7841) or michael.behnke@usaac.army.mil. A copy of the U.S. Army Small Arms Championship program/schedule is available on the USAMU website at http://www.usamu.com.
