USAMU set to hold annual Action Shooting Junior Clinic
By Michael Molinaro
USAMU PAO FORT BENNING, Ga. —The fourth annual U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit Action Shooting Junior Clinic will be held Oct. 28-30 at Krilling Range here on Fort Benning. Champions from the USAMU’s Action Shooting Team, including three-time multi-gun national champion Staff Sgt. Daniel Horner and Pfc. Shane Coley, a former camp attendee and U.S. International Practical Shooting Confederation World Shoot team member, will be the primary instructors.
Juniors attending the clinic will learn advanced skills in drawing, accuracy, movement techniques, transitions and reloads. The first two days will consist of hands-on training with a match on Sunday to conclude the clinic. There is no entry fee associated with the clinic. A government-issued identification card is all that you need now to get on to Fort Benning—visitor’s passes are no longer required.
Attendees must bring all equipment, ammunition, and provide their own transportation to and from the range, as well as all meals. This is not a clinic for novice shooters–those wishing to attend must be USPSA classified. USAMU Soldiers relish the chance to pass on their expertise to junior shooters who have the desire to learn and enhance their skills while having fun. Groups will be broken down to ensure the instructor-to-student ratio is the best you will find anywhere. “If it has ever crossed your mind to attend the junior camp, do it,” said an attendee from last year’s clinic. “Raise money, have a raffle, have a lemonade stand—just do whatever it takes to get there. The camaraderie between shooters and instructors was unmatched by anything else I have ever been involved in.” Space is limited. Registration is now open and will end on Aug. 12.
