Do NOT visit armyreservemarksman.com
armyreservemarksman.com is a spam site hawking pills and has nothing to do with the US Army Reserve Shooting Team
I registered http://armyreservemarksman.info because Army Reserve Marksman is an informational site. Top-level domains
were intended to reference the site to the type of
organization/activity it represented. For example, .com (commercial
site), .net (networking technology, such as ISPs) and .org (non-profit.)
.mil would be most accurate, but that is a restricted TLD managed by the Defense Information Systems Agency
Once OCAR (Office of the Chief, Army Reserve) again officially circulates Army Reserve Marksman,as required by published Army regulation, we can possibly get armyreservemarksman as a .mil TLD.
For now, Army Reserve Marksman is officially armyreservemarksman.info

Firearm User Network and blog move
I'm finding it superfluous to maintain a personal blog when most of my online efforts are already divided among FUNshoot.com (my startup company), American Gunsmith (my editing job)and the USAR Shooting Team.
http://FirearmUserNetwork.com is the online equivalent of a magazine (news, articles, etc.) for the Firearm User Network service at FUNshoot.com.
I will post all future news at http://FirearmUserNetwork.com.

Altrutising
I invented the word altrutising, a portmanteau of altruism and advertising, as it represents the only form of sponsorship accepted by the Firearm User Network.
We only accept advertising that altruistically benefits our membership, or altrutising.
Altruism
al·tru·ism [al-troo-iz-uhm]
- The principle or practice of unselfish concern for or devotion to the welfare of others.
Advertising
ad·ver·tis·ing [ad-ver-tahy-zing]
- The act or practice of calling public attention to one's product, service, need, etc., especially by paid announcements: to get more customers by advertising.
When considering options to accept sponsorship and support from third party companies, vendors and manufacturers I wanted the ensure that it served to help Firearm User Network members. Traditional advertising, paying to place interrupting messages in front of readers, viewers and/or members, rarely does the end user any good. We avoid this by only accepting Altrutising.
Any outside source of support is returned to the FUNshoot membership in a way that directly and obviously benefits them. Sponsors offset our operating costs, making it less expensive for members to benefit from our services.
For example, a vendor wishes to advertise with us. Rather than broadcast an ad to our membership in exchange for money, sponsors cover our overhead expenses which is passed on altruistically. Members hosting FUNshoot events agree to allow the company to be listed as an official event sponsor in exchange for an 80% discount on event processing fees. Individual premium memberships are extended free of charge. Thus, every sponsor dollar is passed directly to the membership.
Rather than spending money to interrupt people with an ad, sponsor companies are forced to think how they can directly benefit the people they are trying to reach. The advertising becomes altruism. Altrutising.

Warren Buffett erases the deficit
“I could end the deficit in 5 minutes. You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP all sitting members of congress are ineligible for reelection.”

Ted Nugent on Hunting Marksmanship
Ted Nugent weighs in on marksmanship and its importance to hunters.
The HunterShooter program was created to develop and promote effective field marksmanship for big game hunters. The lack of shooting skill for any hunter demonstrates a lack of preparation and respect for the hunted animal. Ted Nugent echoes this sentiment:
“Accountability is right up there with safety and the law! The same basic principle applies to all “projectile management”, really. Whether it’s arrows from my bow, rocks and marbles out of my wristrocket slingshot, BB’s from my Red Ryder, handguns, open sight rifles or scoped target guns, good marksmanship will only come with certain and intense disciplines.
HunterShooter is the only formal discipline promoting field marksmanship for hunters. Follow Uncle Ted’s advice and get involved today.

Army Marksmanship Training Facts
The 82nd Airborne Division has a chorus group that travels and sings but does not have a rifle team. The US Army Reserve has several bands as well. The Army recognizes band members by MOS. Previously, each instrument was a separate Military Occupational Specialty. Currently, 42R is the Band MOS and each instrument is an ASI (Additional Skill Identifier.)
There is no MOS or ASI for marksmanship instructor in the US Army. There isn't even any specified, published skill requirement to teach (or attempt to teach) marksmanship to Soldiers.
