Have you taken your vitamins today? As you know vitamins have several important functions for your well-being. Some say vitamins are almost as important as your daily dose of TFB’s Photo Of The Day, and we agree of course. So here’s another dose of important pictures, but instead of magnesium, iron, calcium and Omega 3 there’s more lead, brass and gunpowder involved here. Above you see a Green Beret with the 1st Special Forces Group (Airborne) as he engages long-range targets during the Menton 2022 Best Sniper Competition at Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Washington.

The competition is comprised of nine teams, including a team from the British Army’s 4th Battalion, Ranger Regiment. During the competition, team events incorporate precision marksmanship, moving targets, live-fire stalks, and stress shoots conducted during daylight and hours of limited visibility. Throughout the event, participants use the M24 Sniper Weapon System, 5.56 M4 carbine and 9 mm pistol.
