What an amazing weekend at Rev-Tac Fi***rm Instruction annual Chris D. Horton Legacy Sniper Competion. Teams from all over the world competing in an exceptionally challenging and unifying event to honor the sacrifice of US Army Sniper Chris D. Horton. Incredibly well-organized, supported by volunteers, and business owners
Specialist Christopher D. Horton died in Paktia, Afghanistan on September 9, 2011, during a complex ambush. Specialist Horton was assigned to the 1st Battalion, 279 Infantry Regiment, 45th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, as a sniper.
His wife made a comment to me that she didn't know how to keep Chris's legacy alive since they never had kids to carry on his name. In 2019 Tim Grover of Rev-Tac organized the first sniper match in his honor. His wife flies in from DC to officiate the event and it's a great time to remember Chris, cross-load information between sniper teams and continue to keep skills sharp.
Shooter First donated targets and our LE Sniper "No Limits" target system was featured in several stages over the 3-day event.
