Kazakhstan’s Ministry of Defense hosted an international sniper competition in August 2018 attended by dozens of the world’s best military marksmen.
Called Altyn Uki (Golden Owl) 2018, the five-day competition attracted snipers from countries such as Afghanistan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Pakistan and Uzbekistan. The United States and the United Arab Emirates sent observers.
The eighth annual competition was held at the Spassk Training Center in the Karaganda region, a lightly populated area of vast steppes, providing ideal terrain for unobstructed sniping.
The 2018 competition was the largest ever and attracted some countries for the first time. It included shooting exercises, either solo or in pairs, that involved hitting targets as distant as 900 meters.
Golden Owl, held under the auspices of the Central Asia Forum for Sniper Arts, aims to establish strong professional ties and information sharing among snipers. Source: Bnews.kz
