Eyes on the prize

The British Army Reserve Operational Shooting Team put their accuracy to the test at the 34th Armed Forces Skill at Arms Meeting.  

Hosted by the National Guard Marksmanship Training Centre in Little Rock, the event saw the ten-strong contingent claim a host of individual and team prizes as they locked horns with counterparts from Holland, Italy and Ireland, as well as outfits from across the United States.  

Team captain WO1 Jim Douglas (REME) was among the standout performers, finishing first as the high individual rifle shooter.   

"This was not just about competing but building bonds and enhancing military proficiency" said Maj Ady Kyle (SASC).
