The ISSF World Championship or the International Shooting Sports Federation World Championship is being held in Baku, Azerbaijan in 2023. The prestigious sports event has attracted seasoned sharpshooters from all across the world. However, the USA Marksmen Unit is ready to take care of all competition and paint everything in stars and stripes. The USA has sent a team of 40 athletes to compete at the ISSF World Championship. Twelve USAMU members have joined the ranks of these athletes for the event. The U.S. will be going up against 100 nations and over 12,000 competitors at the contest to claim victory. The competition is already in motion from 14th August and will conclude on 1st September.

The prestigious ISSF World Championship is also a highly potent ticket for the upcoming Olympics. The best-performing countries will earn a slot at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. These quotas are basically berths for countries to compete at the Olympic games. The number of countries that qualify for the Olympics is always limited. The ISSF World Championship is a way to weed out competition. However, to keep things fair, each country is limited to just two participations in every category. The USAMU is making the most of this opportunity and looks forward to sealing those berths for themselves. The USAMU has taken part in several competitions and made their rivals bite the dust with their phenomenal accuracy.
