2012 SniperWeek West

Conference and Challenge

October 2 - 5, 2012 

Snipercraft is happy to announce that SniperWeek West for 2012 has been scheduled.  The Elk Grove Police Department, in Northern California, has volunteered to host us, as we bring SniperWeek West back to California.  The competiiton will be held at the Sacramento Valley Shooting Center.  

Registration for 2012 will be opened in April.

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.

2011 Speakers Were:

 Tim Beard - Sniper - Clackamas County, OR
John Simpson - Author and sniper instructor
Shawn Dugan & Scott Carr - Snipers - Hillsborough County, FL
Richard Morey - American Sniper Association
Zach Adams & Doug Howell - Snipers - Utah County, UT
Jeff Massagli - Sacramento County, CA SD

SniperWeek West concludes with the Pacific 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 AUGUST 30, 2012.  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.
