The Gathering of Snipers is an annual event co-hosted by the USMC Scout Sniper Association and the Army Sniper Association. The Gathering provides a professional forum designed to further the art and science of military sniping. The multi-day event includes a professional symposium for military snipers, practical shooting instruction, a precision rifle match and plenty of opportunity for camaraderie.
Our purpose is to increase interoperability, lethality and enhance the trust and camaraderie among snipers from the various Services. We also aim to engage industry and everyday Americans in supporting the military snipers who proudly serve on their behalf.
The first Gathering was held in Denver, Colorado in August 2019. While 2020 brought a brief interruption due to COVID-19, we went to Texas and partnered with Guardian Long Range for our two-day precision rifle competition and shooting clinics in 2021. For 2022, we’re back with Guardian again, this time at Arena Training Facility in Blakely, Georgia.
