Hi all,I came back from Germany in 75 for my crse. and when I returned to Germany we had a chance to work with sinpers from Egland, U.S.A., Germany, etc. and I must admit that for all around skills We allways came out on top [There is a lot more to being a sniper than just being able to shoot]A personal friend of mine has won the sniper tropy in Ottawa a few times in the mid 90's.If there are any rifle team members reading this they will likely remember Rico,how a guy that big could run that fast is beyond me, any why enough of the history for now Happy Trails Larry
