$1,000,000 Sniper Shoot-Out: Taya Kyle and Bruce Piatt

We haven't heard much from Tracking Point lately but they're looking to change that. In the beginning of December they're hosting The American Sniper Shootout, an event that benefits the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation.

Here's what they have to say about it:

Taya Kyle will use TrackingPoint’s Precision-Guided Firearms to take on reigning  NRA World Shooting Champion Bruce Piatt in the inaugural American Sniper Shootout. If the champ wins against Taya and the TrackingPoint system, he will take home the $ 1 million prize.

The landmark event is set for Saturday, Dec. 5, 2015 in Mason, Texas, with proceeds benefiting the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation. Sponsors are already planning to make the American Sniper Shootout an annual event.

The American Sniper Shootout is the first of its kind to pit a novice shooter armed with yet to be announced military-grade TrackingPoint systems against the best in the world in a head-to-head competition featuring the types of shots routinely encountered by soldiers in battle. TrackingPoint’s new products will be announced on November 4th. World Champion Bruce Piatt will compete using current military squad-level and sniper firearms.

“I am a novice shooter,” said Taya Kyle, wife of Chris Kyle, the most prolific sniper in American history. “When I shoot TrackingPoint guns, I feel Chris’s spirit in my hands. Chris would be proud to know that every soldier now has the power to dominate any adversary, and it’s even better that this event benefits military service men and women, veterans, first responders and their families through the Chris Kyle Frog Foundation.”
