Even the Coast Guard has sharper snipers than the Marines
By: Shawn Snow   17 hours ago


For the second year in a row the Army’s 75th Ranger Regiment beat out nearly 30 military, civilian and foreign sniper teams at the 2018 International Sniper Competition held aboard Fort Benning, Georgia.

The Corps’ two-man team hailing from the Quantico, Virginia, Scout Sniper Instructor School placed 10th overall, just behind the Coast Guard’s Special Mission’s Training Detachment.

It’s the second year the Marine team has been bested by the Coast Guard. In 2017, the Corps’ snipers fared slightly better taking home the seventh place slot.

Even 10th place in this gig, is probably a 10X better shot than any of us. :laugh:

Anybody that participates is extremely good. You'd be glad to have any one of those boys protecting you from afar.
