The Mammoth Sniper Challenge is a three-day, two-night team event held at Fort Gordon, Georgia, where two-person teams ruck more than 35 miles carrying all of their own food, shelter, and gear at a required pace. Between the marches the teams shoot blind long-range stages, which makes the event as much a physical-endurance test as a precision one. Finishing well demands fitness, navigation, and marksmanship in roughly equal measure.
Because competitors carry everything on their backs, every ounce of rifle and support gear matters, and many teams lean on a sling for stable field shots rather than heavier rest systems. The stages favor steady positional shooting under fatigue, and each blind stage tests how quickly a designated marksman pairing can read a problem and engage without a known plan.
