TWO CLASSES FOR 2013
We have split the 2013 Sniper Adventure Challenges into two classes: The*ENDURANCE CLASS*and the*SPRINT CLASS.

ENDURANCE CLASS*- 24-40 hours of continuous challenge, 30-40 miles on foot navigation.SPRINT CLASS*- 8-16 hours of continuous challenge, 8-15 miles on foot navigation.This is the web site for the*ENDURANCE CLASS.

This event is an adventure race involving: land navigation; practical shooting with long-range rifle, carbine, and pistols; fieldcraft; problem solving; and other related tasks.Two-man teams will be required to navigate at least 30 miles on foot to complete the course. Along the way, there will be a series of tasks to accomplish to gain additional points. These tasks may include: shooting problems with long-range rifle, carbine, and pistols; problem-solving; physical challenges; fieldcraft; communication; target recognition; memory; and other tasks.Teams must carry all the gear they use to

complete land navigation and all tasks, though it may be abandoned at any time. Teams must carry one long-range rifle, one carbine, and two pistols for the entire course. Refer to the*Required Gear List*for items required for all teams/competitors. All other gear is left to the discretion of the team based on the task briefing. This information will be posted to this web site far in advance of the match date.

Thinking about giving the July 4-7 endurance event a go. I need a team mate who can walk like a camel, with good feet, that can shoot, move, and communicate. This event = not for pussys. 40 miles of compass and map in the desert. Carry in carry out, no re-supply.

Anyone interested?

started looking through some of the blogs from last year's event. looks like the opener was a 5 mile foot March with a 10000 foot elevation climb. teams were tasked to improvise using only the items in their pack list and posession and build a cradle to carry 100 lbs to the check point.

sounds like a gut check!

out of almost 40 teams only 7 completed all the challenges, wow!
