Want to learn how to shoot an airgun like an Olympian—or at least how to shoot an airgun from an Olympian? Regardless of age and skill level, you're invited to join USA Shooting and the MidwayUSA Foundation for an airgun training camp this coming November 10-12. Set to take place at the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center (USOPTC) in Colorado Springs, Colorado, this star-studded event is sure to engage and enlilghten. Best of all, your registration fees will go directly to the MidwayUSA Foundation endowment of your choice ... an income stream that's crucial for the development of young Olympic and Paralympic athletes.

The camp is open to all ages and skill levels for both air rifle and pistol athletes. The weekend includes a tour of the U.S. Olympic and Paralympic Training Center along with a portion of the meals for the duration of the camp.

Upon registration, applicants will be required to submit their USA Shooting membership number. Memberships for those 21 years of age or younger are $30. To apply for a USA Shooting membership, visit: https://members.usashooting.org/memberregistration

James Hall: 2020 Olympian, Three-time Medalist at the 2022 Championship of the Americas (CAT), and 2018 CAT Games Champion
