A Marine's Tips on Shooting in Competition

Hello all, this video is of a fellow Marine, Cpl Muñiz, filling you all in on some basic shooting knowledge. We both shot in the U.S. Marine Corps Far East Division Matches, which is a prestigious competition that ties into rifle and pistol competitions on an international scope. The points we earn and all that can also help us in the future. He placed silver in the Rifle competition, I placed bronze in the pistol competition. There were a total of 300 Marines shooting in our Match, and 900 shooting from Okinawa.

Some of these tips only apply to competition shooting, and not for qualifying on the actual Marine Corps rifle range. Read over the Marine Corps order on qualification shooting before you try any of these things.

Our thoughts and opinions are not the thoughts and opinions of the Marine Corps itself, just some knowledge from OUR brain housing group.

I have since left Okinawa and am not stationed in Indian Head, Maryland. Cpl Muñiz has gone on to shoot for the MARINE CORPS rifle team..extremely prestigious. Wish him luck!

Semper Fidelis,

Cpl JimmyDShea and Cpl Muñiz

what? did he just say "front sight front picture and right side alignment?????

cpl boot

obviously this guy never paid attention and you don't need a neck gaitor in okianwa when it never gets below 70

[JimmyDShea]

By "right" he meant correct, and he didn't say "side" he said site, so he meant, correct site alignment. No matter what you say, he went on to shoot on the USMC Rifle Team and finished being ranked top 50 in the country, and that's out of all the branches plus civilian shooting.

Plus it was below 50 degrees that day, wet and windy.

My father always said "A great shooter doesn't close an eye." Before you get all pissed at me. He was an expert marksman and won many compatitions in the world.
