2021 USASOC Sniper Competition

Speedload's was on the ground to cover the USASOC Sniper Competition, the premier special operations sniper competition held at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, and hosted by the United States Army Special Operations Command. Each Army Special Forces Group was in attendance, in addition to USASOC HQ element, as well as the US Marine Raiders, other Special Operations Forces contingents, Federal LE and international SOF partner forces.

The US Special Operations Forces community was well represented at this challenging four day match that tested the skill, determination and experience of each team, as well as the equipment they chose to employ. The match is limited to platforms chambered in the legacy .308 Win cartridge, which is not as forgiving as some of the more modern projectiles, especially in the wind.

The USASOC Sniper Competition requires more of it's participants than similar matches; teams must be competent in not only long-range marksmanship and field craft, but also with their duty pistols and night vision devices — all of which were employed extensively throughout the match.

Sit back, buckle up and enjoy a glimpse into the grueling reality of the most challenging sniper competition in the world, as the globes best Special Operations Forces attempt to claim victory.
