The Third Annual Team Sniper Competition returns September 4–6, 2026, at Ben Franklin Range in Pennsylvania. Designed around realistic field-style sniper competition, this two-person event pushes teams through a physically demanding 3-mile course featuring 18–22 blind stages that test navigation, communication, observation, and shooting under pressure.
Unlike static PRS-style matches, competitors must locate, range, and engage unknown-distance targets while managing time, fatigue, and equipment across rifle, carbine, and pistol stages. Teams are split into dedicated “rifle” and “carbine” shooter roles, with no weapon swapping allowed unless directed by match staff. The match draws experienced civilian competitors alongside Special Operations and tactical shooting teams, making preparation and efficient teamwork critical.
