Fort Bragg soldiers compete for spots in international sniper competition

Fort Bragg soldiers compete for spots in international sniper competition

http://www.fayobserver.com/military/...99a8d22ea.html

"....Sergeants Brandon Spann and Rory Ponte, a sniper team from the 82nd Airborne Division's 3rd Brigade Combat Team, crept ahead together slowly, never losing track of the enemy and the dangerous objects surrounding them, like the concealed mines and mortar tubes. They lurked carefully, knowing the enemy was searching for them through magnifying optics...."

And

"...They were among 11 teams from the 82nd Airborne Division clashing for the top spots in the Alvin C. York Memorial Sniper Competition. The two best teams will advance to compete in the 2016 International Sniper Competition at Fort Benning, Georgia, next month..."

You don't just show up at the International Sniper Competition. You have to put in some hard work to get there.
