Manage episode 314773719 series 2798803
In 1956, President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized the formation of the Army Marksmanship Unit, almost exclusively to win shooting competitions that would raise the standards of marksmanship throughout the Army. The unit is composed of five competitive shooting sections, each with world-class training facilities and competition grounds. Those teams include Service Rifle, Action Shooting, International Rifle, Service Pistol, and Shotgun.
Will Hinton, part of the shotgun unit, grew up with a shotgun in his hand and competed all over the USA in sporting clays competitions and the PSCA before entering the AMU. Will has been part of the Army Marksmanship Shotgun Unit for five years as a shooter/instructor and now competes all over the world in bunker trap. January 2022 will lead to a promotion in the Army as Staff Sergeant where he will continue his career and live out his passion for shotgun shooting.
