 The tag matches are the premier marksmanship competition for the Ohio Army National Guard and they are the adjunct generals number one marksmanship competition in Ohio. Firing conditions are very challenging. Soldiers compete both rifle and pistol, M17 and M4. Sometimes shooting from multiple positions, shooting moving targets at a very high rate of speed. The skills soldiers gain from the tag matches, they take back to their units what they've learned and they usually become the PMI or instructor for their battalions or companies. They tutor their soldiers in these elevated higher level skills and those soldiers sometimes come to the tag matches subsequently. These individuals become coaches of future teams. We promote these skills and hope soldiers hone them to a higher degree. We use the tag matches also as a vetting for the top marksmen in the Guard to take to national and regional level things.
