The Woodland Reapers got together at Mark's house to talk about the team's game plan for D-Day and to see who had the best shot.We setup a plastic yellow plate at about 150 feet away, which you can barely see on top of the red truckbed in the picture to the right as Scott Lewis lines up his shot.
Seven of us went through 10 rounds and no one could hit it. The combination of the distance plus the cross-wind made it too hard to hit. So we moved up by about 25 feet.
We each took turns taking one shot at a time. Finally Chris Harell, seen above (shooting Dustin's gun) with Drew Purdin in the background, hits the plate. Not only did he show everyone that it was do-able, but as of that moment the $35 was his.
After 10 rounds, Chris took first place (and $35) with two hits, Scott and Drew tied for second with one hit apiece. So we had a 5-round tie-breaker for second place. Scott went first and missed all 5 shots. Drew went next, only needing one hit to secure second place. Drew hit the target once and won the OpsGear pods.
The prizes were $35 for first, 5 OpsGear pods for second, and Splatter Paintball Supply stickers for the rest of the shooters.
Everyone had a great time at the competition. We'd like to thank Mark for hosting the Sniper's Challenge, his Mom and Dad for the food, OpsGear for the pods, and Splatter Paintball Supply for the stickers. The next post will cover the D-Day discussion we had after we finished the Sniper Challenge.
