Bren Posted September 3, 2017 Share Posted September 3, 2017 (edited) Just got back from my first military competition, the U.S. Army Reserve Small Arms Championship, at Ft. McCoy, Wisconsin. 131 individual shooters and 22 teams, from as far away as Hawaii (a team of snipers from the only Infantry battalion in the Army Reserve showed up). I won 2nd, overall, in pistol and my team won 2nd in pistol and 3rd overall (combined rifle and pistol). Plus, I was 4th in the pistol EIC match, so I got 8 "leg" points and they tell me the Army Marksmanship Unit will be sending me the bronze EIC badge and orders for it. Now I'm feeling motivated to do more of this type of competition - get my rifle badge, go for the silver and distinguished badges, etc. It's kind of boring, compared to action shooting sports, but I do get stuff to wear on my uniform, I get paid to compete, and I could possibly get on a team and travel the world. I sent off today for Leupold's military price list, to order a scope for Service Rifle. Edited September 6, 2017 by Bren 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bren Posted September 23, 2017 Author Share Posted September 23, 2017 Got my EIC badge and orders in the mail yesterday. As I understand the rules, because I got an 8-point leg in a level 3 match (same level as national trophy matches), all I have to do to get to distinguished is get any kind of points in any level match from here on out, to get to 30. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
