    U.S. Marine Sgt. Shane Butler, a marksmanship instructor and competitor with the Marine Corps Shooting Team, demonstrates to another Marine how to use an M4 carbine’s sling to stabilize aim during a training class for the Marine Corps Marksmanship Competition at Edson Range on Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, California, Nov. 4, 2020. The competition at Pendleton is the first in a series scheduled for Marine bases around the world as part of the 2021 Competition-In-Arms Program, which will end with a championship match on Marine Corps Base Quantico, Virginia. The program is designed to significantly enhance participants’ proficiency in the use of individual small arms by refining fundamental marksmanship skills, learning marksmanship techniques, and pushing through mental and physical boundaries in a competitive forum. Butler is native of Georgetown, Kentucky. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Kerstin Roberts)
