Colorado, Wisconsin, and Montana National guard got a whole lotta good old boys that like ta' hunt n' ta' shoot. No shame in losing to those guys. Losing to the Coasties on the other hand....

I'm reserving judgment until I see the snipers ranked by @Auburndawg

He poasts from Marine heaven and long distance. If you don't know who he is look him up. This guy had armored balls. The book was great. I'm old I have an autographed copy.

It’s a shame to see how far @USMCSNIPER_Devil_Dawgs have fallen

Not going to lie, this is a major disappointment. Canada actually has a great sniper program, which is surprising the first time you hear it. I believe a Canadian still owns the longest shot record.

ThomasFremont

Sounds like the National Guard has a lot of time to play pretend war.

What the fuck did you just fucking say about me, you little bitch? I'll have you know I graduated top of my class in the Navy Seals, and I've been involved in numerous secret raids on Al-Quaeda, and I have over 300 confirmed kills. I am trained in gorilla warfare and I'm the top sniper in the entire US armed forces. You are nothing to me but just another target. I will wipe you the fuck out with precision the likes of which has never been seen before on this Earth, mark my fucking words. You think you can get away with saying that shit to me over the Internet? Think again, fucker. As we speak I am contacting my secret network of spies across the USA and your IP is being traced right now so you better prepare for the storm, maggot. The storm that wipes out the pathetic little thing you call your life. You're fucking dead, kid. I can be anywhere, anytime, and I can kill you in over seven hundred ways, and that's just with my bare hands. Not only am I extensively trained in unarmed combat, but I have access to the entire arsenal of the United States Marine Corps and I will use it to its full extent to wipe your miserable ass off the face of the continent, you little shit. If only you could have known what unholy retribution your little "clever" comment was about to bring down upon you, maybe you would have held your fucking tongue. But you couldn't, you didn't, and now you're paying the price, you goddamn idiot. I will shit fury all over you and you will drown in it. You're fucking dead, kiddo.

I see what you did there with the SWEDEN WITH THE BRONZE!!! Humblebrag.

I’m hearing they train while on moving trains. So once they get to competition, they mow me down.

Looks like Oregon needs to fire the coach though.

Really anyone who finished behind the 3rd Princess Patricia Canadians should be banned from competitions for life.

marines kill up close and personal.

sniping is for fags.

I once did a guy in Laos when I was 19. 1000 yards. High winds. 8, maybe 10 guys in the world could have made that shot.
Only thing I was ever good at.

I've always been lucky when it comes to killing men

True story.

I’m still waiting for the right moment to get the whole story from him.

Other dad knows.

Dad has some truly fucked up stories from Cambodia/Laos that only come out when he's really black out drunk.

The real embarrassment here is the SEAL team being 25th. Those guys are supposed to be ELITE and the only explanation I can think of is that all the best guys are constantly deployed. But still...

Here is the actual answer. They have good snipers. Like real world ops good snipers. But, SEALs are constantly training for all environment ops, in all weather conditions, and 90% of their training is underwater, in boats, jumping out of planes, and small team tactics. Their snipers are not range warriors that go shoot long range all day. The "sniper" job in a SEAL unit doesn't mean that is all you do all day long. So yeah, those guys can shoot, but I promise you those National Guard guys on the list sit at a range three days a week for 8 hours a day shooting 1000 yards. No way for high op tempo operational units who spend 1/4 of their life in scuba gear to compete with that. All that said, I wouldn't want to be in the crosshairs of a SEAL sniper in actual real world conditions. Ask those fucking Somali pirates about how that works out.
