Mahalo to everyone who participated and the staff who helped run the event. The fastest times were achieved by quickly double tapping each target while still maintaining a good running pace towards the sniping area and then by hitting the 60 yd target in the first shot and then sprinting back to the finish line.

Scott Chun started the event off w/ a blistering 28.4 seconds only to be later edged out by Winston Ching. While VSRs and Hicapas dominated the field, Winstons CA870 + P99 was the fastest for the day and earned him a bag of 2000 Bioval .27 BBs and a tactical thigh rig. Congratulations and look forward to more Sniper Events in the future!
