Benning Sniper Comp

We, SFSC (SOTIC) sent two teams to the sniper comp at Benning and one team got second in open class and the other team got second in the service class and got first in the pistol.

kickass!!! That is splendid, Rick.
I guess it goes to show SFSC is not all long-range engagement.
The AMU is absent this year....so who got the first place? The Rangers?

Actually it is kinda embarrassing, a Marine team that could do no wrong and a throw together team of two DIs that were former Rangers. Go figure.

Yeouch!
A Marine buddy who I used to compete HP with will have a field day with this. He must never know!

Oh well...owing to your philosophy, so long as they had fun, all's well that ends well right

No All he would be able to do is Tell you how to shoot, not the actual job of shooting itself. I'm sure he'd have some good pointers for Rick!!!!
