Airgun as A Career? – You Betcha, With the AMU.
Posted by Junior Shooters
Do you enjoy shooting airgun? What about competing in international competitions as a career? Qualified shooters have an opportunity, as soldiers in the U. S. Army, to be part of the USAMU (United States Army Marksmanship Unit). The USAMU sponsors a variety of shooting events, many of which are for, or open to, juniors. Then, if you are good enough, and selected, you could be a part of the USAMU competing all over the world.
Check out what is going on now at 2009 airgun and smallbore Nationals, June 2009.
