Competition News Lets face it. Competitive shooting articles in the local press are far and few between. There are exceptions, however, such as the Association's hometown newspaper. The Columbus Ledger-Enquirer newspaper reports not only match results but has frequently published in depth feature articles about USAMU shooters. Around the country, as your feedback indicates, there is little or no coverage. And often, if competitive results are published, they are not timely. The MMA is not able to act as a clearing house for all competitive events. There are other shooting bodies that are better staffed to do that. On the other hand, photographs and news stories about USAMU shooters have been seen on a number of major Internet web sites. You will find comprehensive coverage on USA Shooting and International Shooting Sport Federation (ISSF). The MMA's main interest is how well USAMU shooters did. With this in mind, the MMA requested that we be included on the USAMU Public Affairs distribution list and we will get the same press releases that are sent to the media world-wide. Please note that these articles are not written for us. They are the same articles that inform the nation's press and Army staff about the accomplishments of USAMU shooters. The byline on these articles is Paula J. Randall, the talented U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit Public Affairs specialist. We plan to post some of these articles on our web site and hope that this effort will keep you informed about our USAMU members who are competing in matches. Additionally, the USAMU web site has a page devoted to current and recent news stories about USAMU shooters. |
