My dad told me a story about when he was in the Marine Corps boot camp in '59 that on the first day that they were on the rifle range he was really doing good and the rifle instructor asked where did he learn to shoot and his Senior Drill Instructor interjected and said "The SH!THEAD is from West Virginia"...Generally your best snipers\marksmen come from states that have a tradition of hunting where young boys are taught how to track, camouflage,shoot, and maintain silence at a very young age.
