Expert Marksmanship: A Path to Olympic Gold Medal

This 1962 unclassified documentary short features footage of Captain W. W. McMillan's marksmanship skills, and his "Path to Olympic Gold Medal" at the 1960 Olympics. While depicting Marines caring for rifles and practicing marksmanship at large shooting ranges, the majority of the film focuses on an interview of McMillan, where he provides marksmanship instruction and demonstrates each step, focusing on fundamentals like grip, stance, stability, sighting alignment and trigger control for rapid fire shooting with pistols and revolvers. The film also features footage of McMillan at the Olympics and multiple creative "trick shots" by McMillan: teacups, poker chips, playing cards, upside down pistol shots and slight aligning with mirrors.
