Camp Joseph T. Robinson, Ar. - The National Guard Marksmanship Training Center (NGMTC) will conduct the 2024 WPW/AFSAM Rifle and Pistol Championships at Camp Joseph T. Robinson, North Little Rock, Arkansas to test the skills of service members from all over the world from April 22 – May 4, 2024.
Service members will execute combat marksmanship tasks during the 53rd annual Winston P. Wilson (WPW) Rifle and Pistol Championship. Concurrently, the 33rd Armed Forces Skill at Arms Meeting (AFSAM) will be held for international and interservice competitors.

This year’s match attracts competitors from all 54 states and territories, and allies from as far away as the Netherlands. Throughout the week, there will be 14 marksmanship events, three weapon-systems utilized, and each marksman will fire more than 600 rounds during the match.
