CPT King was killed in action at Normandy in June 1944. An inspiring mentor, King coached the team to the first of several National Intercollegiate Championships by 1942. During one subsequent season, the first five ranked cadets and the second five ranked cadets were the first and second place teams at Nationals. Competing during fall and spring seasons, the team engages in college-level meets including a triangular shoot against the U.S. Air Force Academy and the U.S. Naval Academy.
Cadets conclude their schedule by competing in the National Intercollegiate Championships.
Team members practice after academic classes several days each week on West Point's Range 10.
