“It’s super exciting to win Nationals in my first year, shooting Limited for the USAMU,” said Staskiewicz. The adjustment of competing in the Limited Division with just an iron sight, or 1-power optic, in a fast moving competition gave the new Soldier a bit of a learning curve, but he said he couldn’t be happier with his recent performance. Before joining the Army, the Omaha, Nebraska native had spent the past few years training, competing and winning in several regional and state matches as a civilian in the Tactical Optics Division, which allows for an optic scope on a rifle.
In his first year as a Soldier, USAMU’s PV2 Nathan Staskiewicz seized the Limited Division Champion title. The timed, obstacle-like stages, also required competitors to accurately fire off at least 200 pistol, 212 rifle, 112 birdshot and 12 slug rounds at targets of various distances, heights and sequences to earn their victories. The national competition had 268 athletes from across the United States prove their marksmanship skills in a 3-day, 14-stage match that included using a pistol, rifle and shotgun.
