It’s because of photos like this that TFB’s Photo Of The Day exists. Above you see a competitor in the United States Army Special Operations Command International Sniper Competition, as he runs to a firing position prior to engaging targets at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, on March 22, 2023. Running For Victory? Let’s hope so.

Nineteen teams competed in the USASOC International Sniper Competition, where instructors from the United States Army John F. Kennedy Special Warfare Center and School designed a series of events that challenged the two-person teams’ ability to work together, firing range, speed and accuracy in varied types of environments.
