The Foundations of our success

No matter what we do, our success depends upon the foundations on which we stand.  The past success of the Hawkeyes program has been built on the fundamental framework of both character and marksmanship.  Both are needed to be successful at any level, from the most novice of beginners to the Olympic caliber marksman.
