Jon, Shot there last year, unable to attend this year due to re-deployment to Kodiak Alaska. Nobody (including competitors)knew any scores untill the awards dinner. I understand that the format has changed from last year though. Last year we had to stay up for 81 hours.

Rumor mill has it 110's and 6.5x20 Leupold/Horus rigs were issued.
Hope everyone was comfy with the horus,mil adjustment set up before hand, it would be a bitch to learn a new system at a comp.

A team from Fort Bragg, N.C., won the 2011 International Sniper Competition this week at Fort Benning and two other teams from the post placed in the competition.
Master Sgt. Kevin Owens and Sgt. 1st Class Terry Gower of B Company, 2nd Battalion, 3rd Special Forces Group won the competition that started Tuesday and ended Friday. A team from Fort Bragg placed third and fifth, taking three of the top five spots in the overall competition.
The competition gave some of the best shooters in the world a chance to test sniper skills and marksmanship, detecting targets, land navigation and physical fitness.
The competition included teams from the Army, Army National Guard, U.S. Army Reserve, U.S. Air Force, Pentagon Police, the San Diego Police Department and countries of Canada, Germany and Ireland.
Rounding out the top five teams are:
Second place - Cpl. Michael Craven and Cpl. Lloyd Kenny, Irish Defense Forces.
Third place - Sgt. 1st Class Tony Amerman and Sgt. 1st Class Andy Roy, of B Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group at Fort Bragg, N.C.
Fourth place - Staff Sgt. Jonathan Geib and Sgt. Jesse Wargolet, of Headquarters of Headquarters Company, 1st Battalion, 158th Infantry Regiment, 29th Brigade Combat Team, Arizona National Guard.
Fifth place - Sgt. 1st Class Gabe Kessay and Sgt. 1st Class Chance Giannelli of D Company, 2nd Battalion, 1st Special Warfare Training Group at Fort Bragg, N.C.
A total of 32 two-man teams from around the world competed in the competition.
Soldiers taking part in the event said they were paying close attention to equipment and training used by other competitors in the events. Many hope to return to their units with ideas that will improve their sniper units.

Re: Benning International Comp
Great job and congrats to Kevin and Terry. Better men just don't exist and I am glad to call them friends, as well as Andy and Tony.
With everyone suffering the same equipment, guess it really has been the Indian and his training over the bow used.
For all the ASC fall 2011 alumni, you shot with the winners.
