Thanks to all the staff for their hard work! Special thanks to the Quantico Combat Shooting Team for coming out to work the match! They are an amazing group of young men! They got many compliments from the International Competitors and made a great impression for the USA! They shot well as well! In fact, three branches of our military represented very well!

All in all, a talented group of competitors from around the world, showing their stuff and having fun! "Shooting USA" came out to film, with John Scouten coming to shoot, so look forward to some TV coverage of the match.
