U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit, Accessions Support Brigade
FORT BENNING, Ga. - The U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit's International Rifle Team will host a free intermediate- and advanced-level smallbore and air rifle clinic at Pool Range Aug. 9 to 13 for adults and junior shooters. Each applicant must be a member of an organized club, such as the National Rifle Association, USA Shooting, Boy Scouts, 4-H Club, ROTC/JROTC, or high school/college shooting teams. Everyone must sign a range safety waiver and guardians must have a power of attorney to sign the safety waiver for junior shooters. Everyone should have proper medical insurance paperwork on hand in case of an emergency. Participants must provide their own transportation, lodging, meals, rifles, ammunition and equipment, as well as adult supervision for juniors, during this clinic. Each shooter is encouraged to bring a minimum of 750 match-grade .22-caliber ammunition and 500 .177-caliber air rifle pellets.

All you have to do is contact the USAMU and ask to be included on their clinic schedule. They do these mainly in the winter, and we have had several in the NW over the years. Just ask.
