Sgt Austin Hill - Nerd or Surfer?

Frank and I had the pleasure to sit down with our friend Austin Hill. In this episode we discussed:

-Biographic information- MOS, first unit, path to the team, accolades

-Quick recap of the summer season so far- as the rifle team moves into Nationals,

-What skillset in high power rifle transitions well into action, and vice versa?

-What’s changed in the way you view shooting from when you first joined the team

to now?

-You’ve served in a victor unit, at PI training recruits, and now as a coach on the shooting team. What do you think needs to change about marksmanship instruction at entry level training? What do you think would be a good way to introduce higher level marksmanship at the battalion level?

-What are your goals during your time with the MCST?

-Could you describe the learning curve you experienced in getting into action shooting between 2021/22 championships?

-As technology and marksmanship disciplines evolve, where do you see the MCST in the future?

-What’s your rifle dream team?
