A B A) Six of the Army Rangers stand before some of the donated prizes, of which there were many! These guys are tough as nails. What Jacob found difficult to do, these guys can do all day, all week. Ya gotta love ’em. B) One of the Army Rangers vaults over an obstacle on his way to “The Mouse Trap.” Photo: Sean Hardy. C) One of the night events was shot from a helicopter. Tracer rounds were used. Reminded Jacob of another time and another place long ago. The target is moving. D) These three winners shot all or parts of Surgeon rifles. Wade Stuteville (middle) took top honors. Terry Cross (right) was second, and John Sommers (left) was third. These guys are world-class shooters and could compete successfully in any type of rifle competition. Jacob would also hate to be any animal they decided to hunt. You could not find a situation or position they could not hit from. They are counted among America’s best riflemen. Wade took home the new prize rifle he is holding as a result of his efforts.

After the vault, the same Ranger (shown in picture “B” on page 56) next makes his way through the culvert carrying his Army-issued .300 Win Mag on the way to the “Mouse Trap.” Each competitor must carry his pistol as well throughout the competition. The weapons the shooter starts with must be used throughout the competition. If a firearm fails, he is out. They could probably do that all week. These events have never been fired at a Rifles Only match. Nor were many of the other 23 events over two days. That is the point. Keep the shooters thinking, stressing, and wondering how best to approach each event. The kneeling position was fired at 400 yards. The 800-, 900-, and 1,000-yard targets were shot in the prone position from the tower, five shots each. I watched as Bryan Yeung and one of the Rangers, both to his left, hit those targets on every shot in the wind and mirage. Movers at 500 yards took many by surprise. Normally, the mover has been a 12" steel disk or silhouette. That has to be shot one competitor at a time. To speed up the match with Top 10 Rifle Equipment 72 shooters, the staff pasted three 5" shoot-n-see paper targets on an upper body paper silhouette. That allowed three shooters to fire at a time. With steel, the shooter can see a hit and try to emulate that lead every time. With paper targets, the shooter cannot see hits and has no idea if his lead is correct or not.
