The National Team lives and trains right there. Those guys can shoot. I don't know about Marines but my cousin (Army) likes to out shoot me with my own rifle whenever we shoot together just because he can.

I always thought biathlon was good training for how I hunt, particularly hitting when winded and with an elevated heart rate. I've run a few primitive biathlons (snowshoes and muzzleloaders) and placed decently. Maybe PRS is better for western hunting?
