The match was the first selection event for the USAMU Shotgun Team to compete in the 2023 Pan American Games. The 2023 Pan American Games are slated to take place in Santiago Chile from Oct. 20- Nov. 5 and will feature five shotgun events--Men’s Trap and Skeet, Women’s Trap and Skeet and Mixed Pairs Skeet.
“The Shotgun Team did well placing 10 Soldiers on the National Team that will travel to upcoming World Cups and a Grand Prix to be held at the 2024 Olympic venue,” said Sgt. 1st Class Jeffery Holguin, the USAMU Shotgun Team Chief. “I’m excited to see who performs well overseas and how Nationals shake out in May to see who’ll represent the U.S. and the Army at Worlds and Pan Am.”
