Hetherington is an instructor/competitive shooter with the U.S. Army Marksmanship Unit out of Fort Benning, Georgia. He earned his spot on Team USA's Production Optics Division through qualifying matches hosted by the U.S. Practical Shooting Association. Hetherington will represent Team USA in the Production Optics Division alongside civilian marksmen: JJ Racaza, Tom Castro and Jay Beal. These four Americans will seek the Gold against 447 other Production Optics individual marksmen and 40 other country teams. This graphic explains the Production Optics Division.
