These competitions are always pretty neat and I think they even had some broadcast on the History Channel or Discovery Channel. The reason I'm posting this here is because it deals with guns and because the first shot in the Army's slideshow (http://www.army.mil/-news/2010/10/19/46798-special-ops-soldiers-finish-on-top-at-sniper-competition/) is of a soldier based in Hawaii. Unfortunately his team didn't win and I haven't found where they placed. The top honors went to Sgt. 1st Class Edward Hoymeyer and Sgt. 1st Class Chance Giannelli, from the Special Forces Sniper School at Fort Bragg, N.C.
