The Real World Sniper Challenge is designed to honor the sniper craft and community through a series of mental and physical challenges under a variety of stressors. Make no mistake about it this event will be as advertised and will quickly identify the unprepared.

Sniper teams are expected to arrive physically prepared to move themselves and their equipment between stages along improved roads and over terrain. It's crucial each team member be capable of operating independently as well as a cohesive unit.

Back to Basics is designed to test a team's ability to perform tasks without the use of, and reliance on certain equipment that has become a crutch rather than a tool in the toolbox. Observing when and how these items have been utilized has highlighted glaring deficiencies in fundamental and foundational skills.

Although this is a competition, the format, tasks and atmosphere will be that of real world sniper operations and reward those who approach it as such. Registration is open to military, law enforcement and civilians alike, however proficiency in the tasks and engagements provided is essential.
