2010 SniperWeek West

Conference and Challenge

October 7 - 10, 2010

Snipercraft is pleased to announce a new location and host agency for SniperWeek West.  We want to recognize the Lake Havasu City Police Department for partnering with us to present this year's event.

This is a unique training event for police snipers.

SniperWeek West begins with a two-day sniper training conference.   Snipers and sniper team leaders are encouraged to attend both days, as we will have topics of interest to all throughout. Planned topics include operational debriefings, discussions on establishing, training and managing a sniper program, an extended presentation on the growing threat of terrorism, both foreign-born and domestic, the latest information on night vision equipment and tactics, and intermediate barriers. Attendance is open to all police and military personnel.  Agency ID is required at check-in.

Scheduled Speakers Will Include:

Jerry Burns - Lake Havasu City, AZ PD
John Simpson - Snipercraft
Richard Morey - American Sniper Association
List will be updated as arrangements are confirmed

SniperWeek West concludes with the Desert Challenge, in which Sniper/Observer teams compete head-to-head in a highly-challenging series of events which have historically served as a comprehensive training exercise and proven to be great fun. These courses will test and validate the team's overall sniping skills; including judgment, tactics and shooting under induced stress.

Participation is open only to active, certified police SWAT team and military personnel.

Competitors will consist of two-man sniper/observer teams. Single snipers will be paired up at the tournament. There is a 60 team limit.  Registration deadline is September 18, 2010, or when we reach our team limit, whichever comes first. Due to space limitations, early registration is strongly advised.  Spots are not confirmed, until payment is received.  No-shows cannot be refunded.  Substitutions are accepted.

The course will be physically and mentally demanding and shooters should be in good condition.

This is a training event. All participants in the tournament will receive a training certificate. Prizes and trophies will be awarded to the top five teams.

All shooters will be expected to adhere to strict safety policies throughout the tournament. All rules, courses of fire and necessary equipment will be outlined in your confirmation email.

If you have any questions about the event, please contact Snipercraft, at (863) 385-7835. Send all registrations to Snipercraft. Forms can be faxed to (863) 385-7835, but again, participation is not confirmed, until payment is received.

The host hotel will be the Hampton Inn, Lake Havasu City.  The group rate is $99 plus tax.  Be sure to mention you are in the SniperWeek West group rate.  The room block expires September 6, so make your reservations early.

REGISTRATION FEES ARE PER PERSON.
