The Air Force 4th Security Forces Squadron combat arms training and maintenance section hosted an excellence-in-competition pistol match at Seymour Johnson Air Force Base, North Carolina, Nov. 18, 2022. The 4th SFS invited local law enforcement agencies, local civic leaders, and service members to compete in the EIC event. New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Spell, a member of our Emergency Response Team, competed in the event. The EIC pistol match tested participants on their handling of a Barretta M-9 or Sig Sauer P320 pistol, their response time and the efficiency of their shots when firing at 25-yard targets. The times allotted for each contestant to shoot ranged from four seconds to two and a half minutes. Deputy Spell placed second in the competition.
“I think the training is the most important aspect of the competition,” said Timothy Spell, New Hanover County Sheriff’s Office Deputy Sheriff. “It's important to build relationships that can help improve our training, while also being able to compete among other people.” Congratulations Deputy Spell!
