Basic Sniper Qual

In this world there are two types of people.

First there are the PIGs. The Professionally Instructed Gunmen. These are the men who travel in platoons and companies, you see them coming from a mile away and they are able to take out the enemy at 100 yards with 100 rounds of ammunition.

Then there are the HOGs. The Hunters of Gunmen. These are the men that travel alone or in two-man teams, you never see them coming, and the first indication you have that they are anywhere near you is that pink mist exploding out from where you heart was two seconds ago. They live by the creed:

"One Shot, One Kill."

If you want to be a Hunter of Gunmen, then you are invited to sign up for the Spokane Airsoft Scout / Sniper Course.
