Pretty darned good for folks from a country that restricts gun ownership.

Nice going. Big thanks to our friends in the great white north.
Admit it, they're in Afghanistan to escape the harsh Canadian winter.

Are these men part of the Patricia Regiment? The snipers are part of the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry. They call themselves the "Patricias".
JTF2 is a Special Forces unit with a different task.
BTW: I was listening to a program the other day in which Maj. Gen. Lew MacKenzie (Ret.) was pointing out that contrary to some press reports re our guys going to Afghanistan equipped only with Euopean camo, that forces from other countries were wearing green but that the Patricias were the only unit that had loaded winter white gear and winter equipment.
BTW: While long range rifle accuracy is a part of a sniper's job, a more important part is recce. This involves being able to take cover, blend into the terrain and stay put in the open for days, becoming virtually invisible by staying still even under adverse conditions.

Makes sense that they would be great snipers, there are some of the BEST hunters in the world up there.
Go Canada!
To: Clive
Good neighbors, eh?
