Each team is comprised of one shooter and a spotter. Each team faced 19 challenging day and night events, which were derived from real world experiences, pitting snipers against time, distance and unknown circumstances. Sniper teams faced tactical challenges while moving through urban environments, all the while engaging targets as close as 25-meters and as far as 1,000 meters. The challenges test team members' ability to communicate with each other and shoot accurately while racing to beat the clock.
