Governor's 20 Sniper Competition 2014
Chief Warrant Officer 4 Rick Tanner, State Marksmanship Coordinator, congratulates the 2014 "Governor's 20" top scoring novice and overall sniper Army Cpl. Chase Smith, 1-124 Cavalry Regiment, at Camp Swift, near Austin, Texas, Sunday, January 12, 2014. The "Governor's 20" competition is an annual event testing service members' skills with the rifle, pistol, sniper rifle, and light machine gun. This portion of the four-part shooting match involves snipers shooting traditional silhouette targets. An additional challenge comes in the form of a poker match where snipers had to shoot through playing cards as they chose their hand to score the most points. Working with his partner, Smith, a first-year sniper, beat out more seasoned shooters to take the top score in the match. The competition's top shooters will continue on to a national shooting competition held in Arkansas later this year. ((U.S. Army National Guard photo by Sgt. Suzanne Carter/Released)
