The world is hungry for visual storytelling, and TFB’s Photo Of The Day does its best to keep the feed live. Above you see U.S. Army Spc. Jackson Jacobs, an artillery forward observer assigned to the Tennessee Army National Guard, representing Region III, as he fires the Barrett M107A1 precision rifle on the Georgia Range at Ft. Greely, Alaska. The photo is taken during the Army National Guard Best Warrior Competition, on July 11, 2023. The Army National Guard Best Warrior Competition tests the adaptiveness and lethality of our forces. National Guard Citizen-Soldiers remain ready and resilient to meet the nation’s challenges.

Below: The SIG Sauer M17 pistol on the Georgia Range at Ft. Greely Alaska.

And of course, the M4 carbines were part of the competition as well.

I don’t know how these competitions are set up, but judging by the images the distances don’t strike me as very difficult.

The Barrett M107A1 again, what a great rifle.
