NASTI
Also: North American Sniper Team Invitational
An invitational team sniper match at Hat Creek Training where two-person military teams shoot brutal cross-canyon stages over multiple days.
NASTI, the North American Sniper Team Invitational, is an invitational match held at Hat Creek Training where roughly 24 two-person teams of military snipers compete over multiple days. The course of fire spans day, night, and pistol stages, and the event is known for brutal cross-canyon long-range shots, steep angles, and extreme wind. Many in the discipline regard it as one of the hardest sniper competitions anywhere.
The terrain forces teams to combine sharp wind reading with disciplined positional shooting, since targets sit across canyons at distances that push into extreme long range. Because each team works as a shooter and spotter pair, the skills it demands overlap closely with the designated marksman role, where one person calls corrections while the other sends the shot.
