Eric Uptagrafft is a Sergeant First Class assigned to the US Army Marksmanship Unit at Fort Benning, Georgia.
Uptagrafft has always been a first class marksman. When he was a full-time shooter at the 5th Army Marksmanship Training Unit, in 1987, I was a temporary shooter at the 6th Army Marksmanship Unit. Uptagrafft has demonstrated what not only talent, but determination and perseverance produces.
Congratulations to both.
USA Shooting is a non-profit corporation that organizes and manages shooting programs nationwide to prepare shooting athletes for Olympic competition. I believe USA Shooting is one of the "unsung heros" that supports shooting competitions.
