Spc. Tim Sherry, a Littleton, Colorado native, is currently seeking a spot on the 2020 Olympic Team in both the 50m Smallbore/Thee-Position Rifle and 10m Air Rifle events. Training to make the Olympic Team takes countless hours of practice on the Home of Champions' ranges at Fort Benning, Georgia. And invaluable experience is also gained in competitions leading up to Team USA selection, which is determined by two Olympic Trials.

This b-roll package shows smallbore/three-position rifle relays and finals from USA Shooting's March 2019 Spring Selection Match at Fort Benning, Georgia. (No 10m Air Rifle events are shown in this footage. That is another b-roll package.)

In the Spring Selection Smallbore Event, Sherry placed with the Silver Medal, earning himself a spot to World Cups Beijing and Munich, as well as the 2019 Pan American Games.
