International Training Incorporated signed rock star Leatherneck and Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer to act as an ambassador for the top notch tactical training company and compete for ITI in an upcoming sniper competition.
The company also signed on former SEAL and neo-TV star Craig “Sawman” Sawyer for its competition shooting team. Sawyer was a sniper instructor for Naval Special Warfare and recently starred on the realty contest show Top Shot (and online zombie hit series Universal Dead).
Both shooters will compete in the Sniper/Observer Competition to benefit the Wounded Warrior Project in mid-October at Storm Mountain Training Center in West Virginia.
As Kit Up! readers know, we’re big fans of ITI and wish them every success. And while it’s not surprising that the company signed on a heavyweight like Sawman, it’s more (pleasantly) surprising that they nabbed Meyer and we wish the hero Devil Dog all the best with this new venture.

See the rock star has a ACR first time I saw someone use one. ALL best wishes to Mr Meyer hope he can win.
That's Sawyer in the RH picture with the ACR. Sawyer was a competitor (alongside Meyer) in Maxim's "Maximum Warrior" 2010. Meyer was also a consultant for 2011's Maximum Warrior, which I was fortunate enough to be selected to compete in and have the honor to meet Meyer personally. (www.maximumwarrior.com) Aside from bragging about it, I raise the point in response to the ACR comment: Freedom Group owns Remington, and, upon info and belief, also owns T1G, where Maximum Warrior takes place. Accordingly, the long guns "issued" to competitors in 2010 were ACRs, and this year, were "Remington Defense" ARs (the models that were used in 2011 were rebranded DPMS rifles, DPMS also being owned by Freedom Group). FWIW.
Cool… thanks for the background info.
