IM ABLE is proud to begin preparations for the launch of the Veteran Sharpshooter Collective, an adaptive air rifle program designed\u00a0specifically for\u00a0disabled Veterans to challenge themselves, sharpen their focus, and build confidence through precision sport.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

This program is offered recreationally, providing a welcoming entry point for Veterans who want to learn or refine air rifle skills in a supportive, mission-driven environment. For those looking to take the next step, participants will have the opportunity to level up into competitive pathways, including\u00a0Move United member\u00a0events\u00a0and Paralympic\/Olympic-level competition<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

More than marksmanship training, the Veteran Sharpshooter Collective is a pathway for Veterans to grow as competitors, develop leadership skills, and inspire the next generation of adaptive athletes through mentorship. Veterans of all abilities are also encouraged to get involved as volunteer coaches, helping lead on the range, support fellow athletes, and truly embody what it means to lead from the front\u2014both on and off the firing line.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
