Can a rifle turn a novice into a world-class sharpshooter? Yes, based on the shootout scoreboard at a major fundraising event for the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation Saturday.
A sharpshooting showdown pitted a young American woman against the reigning NRA global champion... the novice crushed her opponent at the inaugural American Sniper Shootout Saturday in Mason, Texas.
The victorious novice shooter was Taya Kyle. Founder of the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation, she is the wife of U.S. Navy SEAL sniper Chris Kyle, known as "the most lethal sniper in US military history," author of autobiography "American Sniper," and the inspiration for Clint Eastwood's movie "American Sniper."

I really liked the "American Sniper" movie!
I follow her on FB.
BTTT
Bradley Cooper was brilliant
M600: 5.56mm... $10k
M800: 7.62mm... $16k
I'm ordering mine tomorrow! ;-)
Tracking point gave her a slight advantage.
Just one of each?
;-)
Ping.
Umm Yeah..
I think the point was it was a fundraiser and her husband had some input on the design of these systems.
What surprises me is that Fox published this 5 days ago and nobody here posted it, as far as I can tell...
They do have a 338 Lapua for only $27,500. Comes with a 30-day guarantee, too! Can’t argue with that! I’ll have to put off that purchase until next month. ;-)
Don’t mess with Navy wives.
After you cash all of the Christmas checks?
Kyle was brilliant, Coopers a good actor.
Haha, I wish. Nope, truth be told, I’m gonna have to hit the lottery to make those purchases.
I am glad it was posted. I would have missed it otherwise.
Way cool!
Jesse Ventura better watch out
I think he’s still hiding in Mexico.
It would be the gentlemanly thing to do.
Great story! Great post!
What’s the 4-11 on the rifle tech?
