Fox News article about the USASOC Sniper Competition last week.

I'm reaching out to the Sniper Committee to get the final standings. From what I saw Thursday at the vendor displays it was the usual "sets a standard of excellence" on the part of the Committee and Special Forces Association-Chapter 62. Apparently the competitors were pretty good too!

"...The U.S. Special Forces team from 3rd Group took first place while teams from U.S. Army Special Operations Command teams took second and third..."

Congrats to 3rd Group for all the hard work their team put in to win it.

Congrats to the 2nd & 3rd place teams that gave them a run for their money.

And so it begins.

Good luck to the US teams! Just ran into the Netherlands team. They are bringing their A game! They got second some years back and 4th last year. Have been learning from some best instructors here and so on.

I’m surprised they said 6.5 creedmoor is not allowed.
Did group therapy with it at 1000 yds recently with 5 to 15 mph wind. Still minute of chest. It was like cheating…
