SSG Shane Butler, 33, of Fortson, Ga., squeezed out the overall win in the National Trophy Individual (NTI) Match at the 2024 National Trophy Rifle Matches when he reached a score of 497-31X, just one point above the second place competitor.
Butler arrived at the National Matches, conducted annually by the Civilian Marksmanship Program (CMP), humbly – without any particular ambitions other than remaining diligent to his craft.
