Communication - Sniper's Hide Team Cup 2019 - Instagram (Oct 2019)

One of the many awesome stages of the Sniper’s Hide Cup in 2019.

Chemistry is super important between shooter/spotter as well as knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses. Partnering up with Beau this year was a no brainer, considering we worked together at the schoolhouse as the Marksmanship Instructors before I left. As instructors we always preached, clear and concise communication between shooter and observer. I feel like we could’ve cleaned up just a bit here but for the most part I’m happy with the execution of this stage both from a shooting and communication standpoint.

Notice how I took my first shot in the standing (with my crutch) without him being on the target yet? That’s usually a “NO NO” from we’re from, but I had the utmost confidence at closer ranges to take the shot and spot for myself. If you looked at the second two targets it required a spotter considering when I missed I didn’t see shit, so I relied completely on my spotter to give me a correction. Always a time and place for everything. The first target was big as fuck and in close proximity but the vegetation was too tall to see from the prone. Some would’ve said you could’ve shot it offhand, but I’m a firm believer of always finding ways of INCREASING your chance hit probability! Anyone that tells you otherwise should probably stick to their desk job!
