On a cold and foggy morning, men and women of the 189th Airlift Wing made their way to range seven at Camp Robinson. The air was chill and fingertips stung as Airmen loaded ammunition into cartridge after cartridge of M1’s and .22’s.
The 189th Airlift Wing’s Marksmanship Team successfully completed its yearly tryouts with more than 30 service members showing up to take their chance at a position on the team. According to Master Sgt. Matt Smith, the marksmanship team captain, the turnout was higher than the past five years. The contenders used pistols and rifles to test their skills and were judged based on accuracy at different distances and positions while firing their weapon. The team distinguishes itself yearly by competing in and winning state, national and international shooting matches.
The members also pride themselves in sharing camaraderie and sportsmanship between all ranks of the Air National Guard. All ranks are welcome and participate in the team’s events throughout the year.
