Topic near and dear to the heart!! Army marksmanship has evolved over the years BECAUSE AMUs involvement in Olympic level competitions. Driving past the old quality ranges on post and they all have a barrier ladder beside the old pit. Gunfights are CRAZY fast, and any additional training we give our kids that will go into harms way is beneficial.
Absolutely true. All of those events were created as a test bed to learn and teach improved ways to make the best use of equipment. The Sullivan Cup would be another example for armor crews.

Gunfighters are gonna gunfight!
At the very leas, competition gives some experience shooting under stress, without people trying to kill you!
Yes, a lesson is best learned by not having to die in the process :)
